Unforgivable Twitter Spelling Mistake on a Trending Topic

A spelling mistake is one thing. But a spelling mistake repeated so often that it becomes a trending topic just points to the deterioration of our educational system.

RIP, Yahoo! GeoCities 1995-2009

What a 14 years! Can you imagine that just 15 years ago, people were creating websites that looked like this:

css-zen-garden-the-beauty-in-css-design

The service, originally created by David Bohnett and John Rezner as Beverly Hills Internet, was modeled on the concept of virtual ‘cities’. For instance, Technology was placed in the “Silicon Valley” city.

GeoCities will be shut down October 26th, 2009 and will no longer offer web hosting services.

RIP, GeoCities – it’s been a good run!

Pic: Lady Gaga Jewish Star!

Yup! You saw right!

Lady Gaga is wearing no pants – a fishnet, and a Jewish Star of David made of spikes on the back of her Israel-blue jacket!

Ahmadinejad is Jewish (rumor refuted)

UPDATE: Turns out this rumor was refuted. Mosey along now … nothing to see here … (still, a funny thought – eh?)

So it turns out that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s roots are Jewish. Yup, his family converted. So he’s not Jewish the way Hitler was – what with the Jewish grandma or something. His family name was changed from  Sabourjian to Ahmadinejad when he converted to Islam from Judaism. I guess hindsight is 20/20. Only a Jew could become the Jews worst enemy.

Remember – in Judaism there’s no way out:

  • You can convert to Catholicism and become the Pope and you’re still Jewish.
  • You can defraud hundreds of people and companies out of billions of dollars and you’re still Jewish.
  • You can join the SS and you’re still Jewish.
  • You can convert to Islam and become President of Iran and condemn Israel to death and threaten it with nuclear bombs – and you’re still Jewish!

Oh well, welcome to the clan, Sabourjian.

The fact was revealed when a close-up of his papers, which he showed on various occasions, showed the name Sabourjian – which is Iranian for “cloth weaver.” The ending of the name, ‘jian,’ is commonplace for Jewish families in Iran – I guess it’s the same as ’stein’, or ‘berg’. Not only that, but apparently the name Sabourjian is a common Jewish name in Iran.

Imagine if some guy who’s last name was Cohen was screaming ‘death to Israel.’ Would you take him seriously?

Apropos, here’s a cute video by Birthright about it!

A Video of Anne Frank

Anne Frank

A video of Anne Frank has been released into YouTube by The Anne Frank House. She’s captured leaning out of a second story balcony, watching a married couple exit the neighboring address. When her diary was publicized in the 1950’s, the couple recognized her, and gave her father, Otto Frank, a 5 second clip of her. Here’s the clip:

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hvtXuO5GzU]

Apparently the video’s become quite viral. It was released on September 23rd, 2009 and already has almost 377,000 views! Then again, what else would you expect from such a powerful figure as Anne Frank?

Thanks, Jennifer Van Grove from Mashable, for the scoop!
