Doing precedent research on existing botanical gardens in the Middle
East. Can anyone point me to a resource or provide names of any
notable examples in this climate? Does anyone know of any with
architectural facilities such as conservatories.

Any and all help will be much appreciated.

There are no botanical gardens in the middle east since the muslims took
over. Muslims don't know jack shit about growing things, and don't care
about anything except beheading innicent people.

Go to google and enter Botanical Gardens +Middle East. Also try gardens
+Middle East for some interesting history sites.

You want to invade my country on some trumped up excuse, you can be sure I
will be the first to lump all your people into one category and deal with
them with all the means at my disposal.

Personally, I prefer to pike someone in the skull and let them bleed to
death slowly, but that's just my preference.

oh yeah ... Go crawl back into your hole, punk.

Don't worry, Crash Test Dummy speaks only for those brew guzzling red-necks
that shoot off their mouths and run away at the sight of any real danger
like that idiot Dubya and his profiteering buddies that are currently
running the USA into the ground. I really can't believe that dim wit ferengi
is actually ahead in the polls.

Dumbass no-IQ troll-bigot.



Obviously, you have had no dealings with sand ******s. Even slight
contact would reveal to you how evil they are.

That's because liberals live in their own little world without any idea
what's going on in the real world. Fortunately, most of the rest of the
country has a clue.

The Hebrew University has one, but I've never been there so I don't know what
they have.
Also there is a Biblical botanical garden in Israel called Neot Kedumim. It is
a very rich resource, but is in severe financial trouble. You can find both of
these places on the Web.

Hypothetical situation: Your 4 yr old child is diagnosed with brain cancer.
Surgery will save her. Without the surgery, she'll be dead in a month.
Obviously, you want to meet the surgeon and make sure you're comfortable
with him/her. You meet. For one hour, the surgeon completely mangles the
English language to the point where you and your spouse are tapping each
other's ankles under the table as if to say "How the hell do we get out of
this conversation gracefully?"

Would you hire that surgeon, or find another?

If you were a republican, you would have the babbling idiot surgeon operate
on your child if he was a republican too!!!! Its that kind of clear thinking
that has gotten this great country where we are today!!!

You certainly don't want some genius intern to operate on your child,
especially if he is some uppity democrat that hasn't been in your hospital
killing patients for four years. If he cures your son, you would be forever
in his debt and you wouldn't want that. Would you?

On TV yesterday, I saw a republican bigshot already making excuses for Dubya
messing up in the debates and they haven't even started yet. The dude said:
"Do you want a president that is good at debating or one that will run the
country?". I thought they were saying that Dubya was a master debater who
always won in the debates. It seem now his own supporters have no faith in
him to do that right. Why should anybody vote for the goof then?

Yeah, sure liberals live in their own little world. We get all our
information from Pat Robberson, Rush Limbo and Ann Cutter. When we see
state sponsored propaganda masquerading as a recruitment video, we
believe it. Join the Airforce and become a glorified gas station
attendent. Yeah, daddy I'm going ship off and be a hero. It's
important. Freedom. Kill people. Hero. Blah blah.

You claim to have some idea of what is going on in the rest of the
world, but I doubt you even know what's really going on in your own
country.

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go tell the servant to white wash the
picket fence and I am already late for my tennis doubles with Biff and
Buffy and then off to buy a gift for my broker. I really do need to
find a new chauffeur ... I mean 'driver' ... my faux pas. Oh dear me,
I've done it again. I must have had too much _chardonay_ last night.
Oh, and did my boys ship the Statue of Liberty back yet? Yes, because
this is the little liberal world that I live in.

I have a friend named Google.

Here is a list of Botanic Gardens in Israel.

http://www.biologie.uni-ulm.de/systa...ns/israel.html

Here is a link to a site that can help you search for Herbaria in a
country of your choice. Most Middle Eastern countries appear to have
several Botanic Gardens or Herbaria.

The majority of these locations are also arboretums or have experimental
gardens, but if someone were more comfortable finding the same locations
with the words "botanical garden" attached, use this search page instead:
http://www.bgci.org.uk/botanic_gardens/find_garden.html
which search page can, of course, also be used to search for herbaria.

om:

what if Dubya was a brain surgeon?

Choose the correct answer:

Dubya reroutes the blood flow in your brain, making you significantly
smarter. There are no complications from surgery. Despite your enhanced
brain capacity, you suffer from none of the intellectual penalties that
make Bill Nye the Science Guy single. Everybody around you prospers and
has excellent health. You also single handedly figure out how to
eliminate the deficit, cure cancer, make flying cars and keep squirrels
out of your garden.

Or:

Dubya shaves your head and then gives you a wig so you'd have a chance at
looking respectable. While you are waiting to have your wig fitted, and
before any real operation is attempted, you bleed to death due to his
inability to distinguish scalp from scalpel. After your death, your
children continue to pay for your hospital / barber shop visit until 20
years after *they* die.
