Is anyone in the U.S. talking about how the Egyptian military has cured AIDs? Because they announced that they cured AIDs. And also Hep C. Using a modified bomb detection device that works like a divining rod and points at the person who has one of the diseases (must have been an awkward day at the office when they discovered it). They also released a video of a general waiving it at some patient and saying "now you don't have AIDs." (It's the C-Fast method that's been discussed for a few years, I think).
That same guy (the inventor) also used an awkward metaphor when describing the delivery system for the "cure," saying it was like they were giving the AIDs patients an AIDs kofta (the Arabic-style meatloaf featured in the infamous McArabia). That led to the "#AIDS_Kofta" being the leading social media trend in Egypt for the last two days. Also, the cafeteria at the embassy had kofta today. No one ate it.
Saw a guy do a divining rod thingy for doing utility locates last summer. I called bullshit and waited for the actual utility locators to get there. The guy was dead on in locating not just water, but power, cable, and phone. He didn't tell me which were which, but where they were and he rough ridin' nailed it.
I mean, curing AIDS and Hep C is awesome and all, but this guy located all four lines!!!!!!
Also, there is probably a fantastic Egyptian military joke going around after this about AIDS being "the bomb" or something. Maybe that wouldn't translate?
