Egypt, that's where they all live in pyramids, worship cats and walk around like this all the time, right?

There are more revolts going on right now in the middle east/north africa than I can keep track of. Let's all remember that Tunisia started all of this. They're totally the The Pixies to Egypt's Nirvana.
EDIT: I just realized you can totally see through that toga-ish thing

Yeah, just watched footage of some of the riots. This is pretty horrible. Not that riots are supposed to be pleasant.

One of the many reasons an internet kill switch is a seriously scary thing. There goes everyone's ability to coordinate, their ability to find out what their government is doing, and their ability to find out what the outside world thinks about it all.

Question is.. does it make it better or worse, in my view, it just makes it a final nail to go ape shit and also do all you can to leak shit... governments have to learn, you can't control the human mind.

"Suddenly other young men — some armed with truncheons taken from the police — formed a human chain outside the main entrance in an attempt to protect the collection inside.
"I'm standing here to defend and to protect our national treasure," said one of the men, Farid Saad, a 40-year-old engineer.
Another man, 26-year-old Ahmed Ibrahim, said it was important to guard the museum because it "has 5,000 years of our history. If they steal it, we'll never find it again.""
