Squat Teams

According to Ayatollah Khomeiny's Political Philosophical, Social and Religious principles: "When defecating or urinating, one must squat in such a way as neither to face Mecca nor to turn one's back upon it." How serious are they about it? How do we know? Do toilets have chalk drawings showing proper squat? What if they don't?

Does the devout muslim carry a compass that beeps when facing the wrong direction? Do Squat Teams sweep and clean each and every WC? How do they contact the raid? Must they face Mecca or turn their back upon it? And just how do they reprimand the sinner?

Say he's stuck in the toilet seat facing Mecca, does he get rescued immediately? Or left in the seat for hours and days as punishment? Does sainthood require an impeccable squat record? Are sins of squat squashed, washed away or flushed down the pipe following confession?

A torrent of very important political, philosophical, social and religious questions springs to mind as one takes a deep squat into the teachings of the Ayatollah...you know in a way that neither faces nor turns away from Mecca :)

Philosophy vs Psychology

Philosophy tries to answer what the meaning Of life is. Psychology guides people to find meaning In life, the life they live in. I am not concerned with the fact that none of the two fields give entirely satisfactory and complete answers. I am pointing out that they look for answers in different directions. In the search FOR meaning, which of the two directions do you think is better to take? Please vote my poll below or leave your comments here.

Improve crap yogurt packages...

I don't understand why they don't improve yogurt packages so that they don't splash when you open them. Yogurt that is sold in a small plastic container and sealed with paper at the top will splash on you unless you unseal it very very slowly. At the very least, there should be a warning written on the seal telling us to hold the yogurt facing the opposite direction before we open it.

I've opened yogurt packages from many different companies as a test at normal speed and the results were the same. Drops of yogurt splash all over. I think it is time a patent is created for a yogurt package that doesn't splash. It's annoying and it doesn't make sense to me why companies don't improve it...
