Coneheads in Kuwait

A very strange phenomenona is happening in Kuwait.

Do you remember the movie coneheads?





Or Alien?





These extraterrestrials both had that strange elongated head.

Well I have been seeing elongated heads more and more, exclusively on veiled girls. Is it an alien invasion? Is it the chicken flu that is spreading around? I could not ask the girls, so I did the next best thing. I went to the Indian guy selling veils, and I asked to see a veil with a bump in the back to have that alien look. He explained to me that all the veils are regular veils but you can buy a huge flower hairpin and create that conehead effect. Something like this but with a much bigger flower.





Mystery solved, for all those that where wondering.

Two Movies I can't wait to see

Kabab Al Hija and Henry Ford

Henry Ford invented the assembly line method of manufacturing. The concept was to assemble each component of a product separately and pass it down the line to the next stage with further assembly. At the end of the assembly line, the result would be a finished product. This manufacturing method transformed the car industry allowing the mass production of cars at affordable rates for the masses. If not for Henry Ford and assembly lines, the elites would be driving cars and everyone else would be riding horses and donkeys.

Kabab Al Hija in Bned Al Gar, Kuwait have also revolutionized the manufacturing of Kababs. Inside, you will find an assembly line for Kababs, from the meat carcasses, the meat grinders, the coal grills, packing with Iranian bread and the final product packaging. Each stage has its own work area with one or more white clad worker assembling the kabab product.

I managed to snap a few pictures clandestinely, I did not want to be caught and arrested for industrial espionage. I did not take any pictures of my ordered Kabab, I was too hungry so I ate it :-)

My Desk - and others

I thought my computer set up was pretty cool, with 2 monitors, my big screen TV and all my remotes (DVD, TV and satellite receiver) all lined up.





Then I found this link with other nerdy desk set ups, Now I feel I need to buy more hardware.

I especially like this one:

Don't Have a Ladder? - No Problem

The signboard installers did not have a ladder, or scaffolding (or isgala in Kuwaiti ;-) ) No Problem, just lift the Hindi in the crane lift.
