It took all the strength I could muster to make this post. Unfortunately, for the last few weeks, I have been under the weather. It actually feels like global warming kind of weather, to be honest. My polar-ice caps melted which resulted in copious amounts of perspiring and as a result I lost a stone, which surprisingly has brought me down to my optimal weight of 378 pounds.

I think I might have had the bird flu. No, it is not the H1N5 kind but the H2MKFC (Had too much Kentucky Fried Chicken) virus. It serves me right for my unhealthy and gluttonous consumption of fast food. Never again!

In my weakened state, I perused cyberspace to bring you this week's collection of articles of interest from Pakistani blogs. Enjoy.

Chapati Mystery highlights the festival of Noruz; Suspect Paki presents his angered rant on Democracy; The Fountainhead pens an impeccable article on a very important issue; Teeth Maestro coughs his way through switching hosting sites; Lightwithin addresses questions on the subject of Pakistani blogging; and finally I imagined what items would be ON SALE if the White House advertised on E-Bay. (Incidentally, this post got a fair number of hits as it got picked up by many alternative news sites – shameless plug)

The strenuous exercise of writing this post has made me extremely hungry, so I am off to McDonalds to gorge 8 Big Macs, 4 large fries and 3 happy meals (known for their highly nutritious value).
