| What's up with Youtube? I had another movie clip to post from Youtube yesterday ("'AlTagroba Al Denimarkiya") and I posted it using Youtube's site. Today? There is no option to post a vid from Youtube to your blog. Anyway, I saw this on a bus trip to Sharm years ago. I associate it with an on-board toilet that was filled to the rim with...mop water. | |

Though if there were, I'm certain it's never been used. Which would make it kind of ironic..
