Not "Only in Israel" pictures

Seems like these pictures don't only happen in Israel.

So far, I've hardly seen any US bloggers reference this big story in NYC.

These pictures (IMHO, anyway) are very reminiscent of 9/11 and eerily remind me of JoeSettler's posting here a few days ago about the 3 weeks and 9/11.

Only in Israel Pictures (edition 3)

I seriously doubt the majority of you have ever seen these "only in Israel" pictures before. If you know where these pictures are from, give a shout out in the comments.

You may be eligable for a frozen muqata waffle!

Coin operated air conditioning or heating (2 NIS for 20 minutes).

Question: How many brachot does the following unfortunate person have to say?

A Canadian jogger happened to be carrying an iPod at the wrong place at the wrong time. Lightning struck his body during a thunderstorm, and the current ran along the path of the earphones and into his head, causing injuries to his jaw and ear eardrums. The patient's physicians say the combination of sweat and the metal earphones directed the current to his head.

I can think of at least 3...
