Saudi Arabia arrests a fowl spy

it's technically not fowl i think... but don't quote me on that :D

But that's the funniest thing I've read all day.

Say what you want about Israel, but they're pretty straight-up about their espionage! "They were arabic. So we assasinated them." or "Saddam was building a reactor. So we exploded it."
 
i can hardly wait for the results of the investigation into the mossad agents releasing a killer shark into a resort area to disrupt tourism in sinai.
 
And we (the West) think this is a country stable enough to be friends with!:willy_nilly:

Does remind me of something which happened in Britain years ago though. Last year West Ham played Hartlepool in the FA cup and I was intrigued as to how they got their nick name, the monkey hangers. This is how -

According to local folklore, the term originates from an incident in which a monkey was hanged in Hartlepool. During the Napoleonic wars, a French ship of the type chasse marée was wrecked off the coast of Hartlepool. The only survivor was a monkey, wearing a French uniform (presumably to provide amusement for those onboard the ship). On finding the monkey, some locals decided to hold an impromptu trial on the beach; since the monkey was unable to answer their questions, and many locals were unaware of what a Frenchman may look like, they concluded that the monkey was in fact a French spy. Just to make sure, the animal was thus sentenced to death and hanged from the mast of a fishing boat on the Headland.
