POPSSmoke a Pack a Day... or move to Cairo This comes as no surprise to me. The entire time I was in Cairo I coughed, hacked and eye watered my way through each day. I asked my chain smoking friend why he bothered to smoke when he could just breathe the air. Worst pollution I personally have ever had to live through. Luckily enough I was able to escape by heading home, unlike most everyone else stuck there.

POPSStop war-No DalMolin Airport in Vicenza- Part I I'll start clipping something about what's happening in my city. In February there's been a great pacific manifestation against this project of war, many American pacifistic have been here to support us. The presidium continues his activity becoming biggest and strongest, but there have been serious threats against the movement. I'm trying to get what I can find in English, and some images, to explain what's happening. This Airport concerns peace danger for all the world!

POPSAncient Burnt City Fortune-Teller's Artificial Eye Found Too bad, thought a child like part of me! This wise woman's relic will now be locked up where no one can touch or hold it. My childish self is wishing this treasure would have stayed buried in the earth longer or that at least it would have been found by an ordinary kid with a wide and deep imagination - who could keep it top secret for years, then pass it on to a grandchild! I know - what an irresponsible thought and silly, selfish notion! But that childish part of myself is often like that and not afraid to admit it.

POPSFake eye - prosthetics from 4,800 years ago. Harris said the primary reason for the artificial eyeball would not have been medical. "She could have worn a patch, but perhaps her family wanted her to look her best for public appearances," he explained. Damn the wealthy!!;) I'm sure all the other girls back then would have wanted the fake eye too.
