There were rumors yesterday that Geely was interested in buying SAAB. But they were initially dismissed. Now things look a little different according to one website. Could this be true? “And Geely is probably the reason the Government now is ready to act. Trollhättan newspaper TTELA today confirms from its sources that Geely is in…

The Coolest Camper (well … maybe)
I’ve always thought the Toppola Saab 900 camper was the greatest camping invention, but after looking at this creation, I think this one would work much better. Somebody made a camper out of a 1962 Corvair van! How cool is that? It’s not overly large but does come with enough room for a small group…
Lucky Duck
When I was a child, one of the local elementary schools had an annual fun fair called, “Lucky Ducky” (at least that’s what I remember it being called).

Q’mon-yaluzah Scrolls
BELIEVE IT OR NOT (Tel Aviv): Scrolls were found in 11 caves near a settlement at Q’mon-yaluzah, none of them coming from the actual settlement. A Bedouin sheep-herder by the name of Yeu el-Bleevit made the first discovery during the Spring of 2006. In the most commonly told story the shepherd threw a rock into…
