<p>This has to be the strangest thing ever. What the hell is alcohol free vodka? How is that even possible?</p>
<blockquote><p>Blue ZERO is specifically targeted for Muslim consumers worldwide since it is Halal approved.</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>Blue ZERO non alcohol vodka tastes and looks exactly like traditional Canadian Vodka.</p></blockquote>
<p>They also have alcohol free Tequila, Whisky, Rum and Cognac! It&#8217;s gotta be a hoax. Even if it isn&#8217;t I highly doubt airport customs would believe you if you told them it was alcohol free. [<a href="http://whiskey-store.co.uk/index.php">Link</a>]</p>

<p>I know this sounds weird and I&#8217;m having a hard time wrapping my head around it but according to an article on the Hotelier website it seems they&#8217;re planning on bringing the famous Swedish Ice Hotel to Kuwait. The Ice Hotel is basically a hotel built out of ice and everything inside is made of ice so I have no idea how this will work in Kuwait. Check out the article [<a href="http://www.hoteliermiddleeast.com/12367-ice-hotels-planned-in-istanbul-and-kuwait/">Here</a>]</p>

<p>I passed this scene earlier today but right after they had managed to put the jetski back on the pickup truck. I didn&#8217;t really know what had happened until I spotted this picture on the Al-Mubarkia blog. It fell off in a pretty dangerous location since it happened coming down a bridge so it&#8217;s not something you would have spotted ahead of time.

<blockquote><p>In the first incident of its kind, a traffic policeman issued a citation against an Arab motorist for having bad breath, reports Al-Anba daily.</p>
<p>A police source said it is a very strange incident and problematic too because the penalty is not known. “Will the motorist be fined; if so, how much will he have to pay and if his car is impounded, how long will it be in the police garage?” he asked.<br />
Incidentally, it is also mentioned on the citation that the motorist admitted that his mouth smells. [<a href="http://www.arabtimesonline.com/NewsDetails/tabid/96/smid/414/ArticleID/172717/reftab/36/t/Traffic-policeman-issues-citation-against-bad-breath/Default.aspx">Source</a>]</p></blockquote>
<p>If they&#8217;re issuing tickets for bad breath then <a href="http://www.248am.com/mark/kuwait/the-reason-why-car-tints-are-illegal/">my previous joke about how sunglasses should be banned</a> might actually happen.</p>
<p><strong>Update:</strong> I added the picture of the ticket to the post</p>
<p><strong>Update2:</strong> The MOI is denying such a ticket was issued [<a href="http://www.arabtimesonline.com/NewsDetails/tabid/96/smid/414/ArticleID/172807/reftab/36/Default.aspx">Link</a>]</p>
