On 7 February, I introduced the gem dealer who was trying to sell a stone that gave the wearer protection from bullets. He claims to have tested its efficacy on a sheep. He was subsequently tried, found guilty of attempted swindling, and sentenced to 6 months. Now, in the appeals court, he has asked the court to appoint an expert to examine the stone and test it for its bullet proof powers. The court has done so. There is no indication as to who the expert is or his qualifications. Stay tuned as there is bound to be more to this saga.
On another note, it is a little disturbing that a country that could acknowledge even the legal possibility that a rock could hold magical properties is going to become the first Arab country to generate electricity with nuclear power.

Rico still thinks the simple solution is to hang the dingus on the owner's neck and shoot him. Quid pro demonstratum...

Haven't you read the following?
The UAE is committed to complete transparency in the operation of nuclear plants.
Of course, this transparency will be along the same lines, as in all other issues / affairs ;)
I like it when these people are so generous with the word transparency. Seems to me, they like the sound of this word or don't know jack what it signifies in essence.
