I Rescue So I Am!

These women are demonstrating in front of the Iranian Parliament to ask for more restricted rules against uncoveredness, if it is a word at all. As the hot season is beginning in Iran hardliners are afraid that women can get rid of their loose winter outfits and wear more fashionable ones. To me the interesting part of this battle is the sentence in the sheet these “good” women are carrying. It reads “respective and responsible member of the Islamic Parliament! Dignity of the families are under threat. Try to rescue deceived girls and boys while it is not too late!”. The question is, what if somebody doesn’t really want to be rescued?

No Comment!

When Morteza first sent me this picture I thought that’s just a prank, or at least that he is not Ahmadniejad. When the same picture came from another friend I got suspicious and searching in Yahoo! News I found the original image (see). This is the man who is leading Iran to a full-scale battle with the world.

Length of the Nails

Kamangir | April 18, 2006 | Category Iran

In my daily life I write some code to do this algorithms or try to solve that math problem. I can imagine somebody building bombs as a daily practice. However, I can not imagine the kind of person that can freely think about the number and length of the nails he would put in the bomb he is fastening to Hamad’s waist. To do that, I will need an estimate of the stiffness of human flesh. To find that out, I may use some beef and try to pierce nails into it.

I have always tried to be at home when I am at home. That means I will not think about the last problem I was working on, right at the dinner table. However, I can not imagine the man hugging his wife without thinking, “shouldn’t I have used longer nails”?

p.s. Azadeh insists that I should add “Palestinians cover their bombs with long nails to increase casualties” (see).

Manned Torpedo

A few weeks ago, after Iranians surfaced some new killing gadgets such as a flying boat, army chiefs stated that there are plenty of more other equipments, some of which were planned to be shown soon. Today, the army day in Iranian calendar, there were parades in many major cities around the country. I picked this photo from one of them. To my understanding it is a manned torpedo. It seems that the army engineers didn’t have the time to paint it.
