Pop quiz…
Wednesday, December 6th, 2006Keanu Reeves sucks. Okay, on to other things. It has come to my attention that our blog could use some “lite” sidebars. To bring in a more “Cosmopolitan” readership. Well, considering the news out of the Middle East is, to indulge in understatement, depressing, let’s cheer ourselves with a staple of magazine journalism: The quotation quiz. Our theme this month: Statements that remind me of life in Cairo, ironically and otherwise. Match the quote with the quoted.
Quotes
1) “Wine has nothing but benefits, I’ll cut off the head of anyone who disagrees.”
2) “I torture the data until they confess.”
3) “Religion is only there to increase the quality of life and maximize people’s enjoyment of living.”
4) “I don’t know what I’m feeling, but it’s a little more than I should.”
5 ) “I wrote my memoir in prison, without pen or paper. I wrote it with the eyeliner of a prostitute. On toilet paper.”
Quoted
A) Printed on the back of a jacket worn by a gentleman walking down the Corniche El Nil.
B) Juliette Lewis, of Juliette and the Licks and numerous films.
C) Mohamed El Sawy, founder of the Sawy Wheel, a music venue in Zamalek that promotes up and coming and “alternative” bands.
D) An unnamed character in Nobel Prize winning author Naguib Mahfouz’s “Cairo Trilogy.”
E) Nawal El Saadaw, writer who ran for the Presidency of Egypt in 2005. She lost.
Post some guesses and I’ll post the answers.
