I was sitting there hoping the bird playing the violin was going to launch in to a searing rendition of "Baa baa black sheep"... \= |

The original idea by Dutch designer Maarten Baas (http://maartenbaas.com/) was actually presented in Milan this year at the Salone del Mobile 2009.. He also made some other clocks, take a look at his YouTube channel, for some very very interesting designs!

The Middle East has nearly 60% of the planet's oil reserves. If none of them have privatized their oil, wouldn't that make the privatized oil companies the underdogs?
Oh, nevermind, that just detracts from the simple answers people seem to want.
Iraq has oil. America is a corporation run by oil companies. America invaded Iraq to steal it's oil. Thank goodness it's that simple and no more thinking or complexity needs to be considered. baa, baa, baa.
No, we did it to save the 6.5 million Kurds out of the kindness of our hearts. And we only had to kill a million Iraqi's and turn another three million into refugees to do it.
And now we're only telling Iraq to either sign very long term leases with private oil companies who expect over ten times the going rate for extracting that oil, or we won't give them the $120 billion dollars we promised them to help rebuild their country after we bombed it back to the stone ages.
Oil companies the underdogs? Keep clutching at straws you racist war monger.



Whats ironic is that you and others who make comments like this seem not to have cared a whit about what was happening to Iraqis and Kurds whilst under Saddam. Aside from the issue of "stealing" oil or whatever the case may be I challenge anyone to say that Iraqis and Kurds lived great lives under Saddam. Americans went in there stirred the Hornets nest and now are trying to make lemonade out of lemons. If it works (still a long road) then it will be one of the greatest things ever but if it doesnt (with the help of people who are blinded by their indignance) then it will be a disaster. Point is....no saddam is good stuff. But perhaps people like you are removed and immersed enough in your pacifist dreamland to not have cared about the wives, sisters and daughters who were regularly stolen and raped while their siginficant others were fed feet first into wood-chipers by Saddams sons. I suppose the gasing of thousands of Kurds was awesome too so long as we weren't "stealing" oil. As long as its not close to home right? Maybe Neville Chamberlain was right in how he handled Hitler and to follow that example we should have just let Saddam take Kuwait as well.

Well I guess Americans could have just sanctioned Saddam into compliance. Seems to work great so long as the UN gets involved right? Maybe he would have slowed down with the mass graves, the torturing of families and other potential non-compliants and the utilization of what was the 3rd largest army in the world. I agree with your thought-process....as long as the slaughtering of thousands is kept in house and perpetrated by the local tyrant then we should never...under any circumstances....interfere. The loss of lives is never acceptable especially when made in the name of other less fortunate people. And asking for any sort of compesation in return, in whatever form, is always a big no-no as well.

No other nation in the Middle East has privatized its oil.

I feel a bit bad for the chicken at the end, but the sound she makes is just so funny!

BAA-awk!

It makes me laugh every time.

Pffft. That's an easy one. baa, Baaaa, *BANCHOO! Anyone have a tissue?
Excuse me, I have the sniffles.

Twinkle Twinkle/The Alphabet Song/Baa Baa Black Sheep at the beginning was Mozart.

How about a hash mark for every self-linking numbwit you hunt down and ban? You know... like Baa Baa Black Sheep!

"We are poooor little laaaaambs, who have looooost our waaaaaay. Baaaaaaaa, baaaaaaaa, baaaaaaaa..."

/me wishes he could change his nym to "Pappy".

EDIT: Doesn't have to be a hash mark. Maybe a sifter with bullet holes and flames or something.
