Ancient or Modern πŸ˜ƒ

A: It is funny how many people consider the Romans to be "Ancient History"; they aren't. The Sumerian city states are ancient. The Assyrian Empire is ancient. The Pyramids are ancient. The Romans? Merely approximately two thousand years ago... practically modern. πŸ™‚

B: And how do you reach that conclusion?

A: It's simple. Take Gilgamesh.

B: Okay.

A: He was probably just a legend, however let's assume, for the sake of this discussion, that he was real, on which case he must have lived about 4,700 years ago, give or take a century or so.

B: Okay, I'm assuming.

A: Good. БСйчас, take 4,700, and divide it in two; what did you get?

B: 2,350.

A: Sababa. And, going exactly 2,350 years back from now, when do we get to?

B: When, indeed?

A: We get to Alexander!

B: Ah! Cool.

A: So: Everything and Everyone prior to Alexander is ancient, and Everything and Everyone after Alexander is modern.

B: And Alexander himself?

A: `ana 'aref... guess he can choose; ask him, how would he prefer to be regarded: ancient or modern.

B: And ho exactly can I ask him?

A: Ah, simple. All you'll need is a time machine; do you have a DeLorian with you?

B: A DeLorian??

A: Ah yes, and also Libyans, to steal the plutonium from.

B: What - from from where would I bring you now Libyans??

A: Do you want to depend upon catching a lightning?? Unless you just happen to know when - wait, do you happen to posses a leaflet from the future, regarding saving a clock tower?

B: I have never been to the future, and I do not know of any clock tower that needs saving.

A: Then it's either the Libyans, or we'll never know Alexander's choice regarding the modernity question.

B: Wait - wasn't he gay?

A: Perhaps.

B: Then he was certainly modern... problem solved!! πŸ˜ƒ

Ever Planning to Visit Uzbekistan??? Then, for Your Own Sake, FIRST READ THIS!!

What I just wrote, to the bloody lying BASTARDS from "moneygram", who claim that receiving money via "moneygram" in Uzbekistan is "easy and fast"... ====================================== Exactly one week ago, my Mother had sent me $400 from israel to uzbekistan. ONLY YESTERDAY WAS I ALLOWED TO GET IT - AND EVEN THAT, AFTER PRESSURING AND SCREAMING!! As, according to the SICK uzbek bureaucracy, in order to be able to receive money sent to him, the foreigner must first obtain something called "pinfl", given at a dour government office, by an ignorant clerk who can ONLY speak uzbek, and requires you to: A - wait in line for over an hour B - fill an invasive interrogatory form C - HAVE YOUR FINGER PRINTS TAKEN, LIKE THE LOWLIEST CRIMINAL D - have your photo taken E - wait for another day, or two F - come AGAIN to that dour government building G - PAY THE BASTARDS, in order to FINALLY receive that ID number H - ONLY THEN go to a bank I - wait in line...

Now This Is, The Story, All about How,

My plans got turning upside down... =============================== ⚠️ DISCLAIMER: THIS POST WAS WRITTEN ON THE 3rd OF MAY, RIGHT AFTER THE EVENTS DESCRIBED, WHEN I WAS VERY, VERY HURT, AND REFLECTS THE WAY I HAD BEEN FEELING BACK THEN. IT IS NOT  THE WAY I FEEL ANYMORE. =============================== For the Best, `Anashushim. πŸ˜ƒ I mean like, I Should Have Known. The moment the Babruysk railway station manager(?) had told me, back on Monday Monday (Only Four Days???? ZAPHOD!! πŸ™ƒ ), how only Russkiy i Belarusskiy citizens, are considered human beings enough to get to cross the border into Mother Russia {imagine here icon of stalin oversees a tank-n-missiles parade at the Red Square ... } by land (a regulatsia,  which nobody else had bothered themselves to inform me about before that!!) - and so I, the mere Jew from da Mittle Osten, shall hence be required to spend six times more money for a blastered FLYING  TICKET - I really should have known, that the Russia country wa...
