1. The banning of all Blackberry smart phones by Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Republic starting in late July 2010.
Because Blackberries use data encryption for transmitting text over the airways, the security forces of those two countries can't "monitor" e-mail traffic from them. Afraid that anti-government forces will use Blackberries for nefarious purposes, they simply banned the devices entirely. Other authoritarian countries are expected to follow suit. Welcome to the 21st century!

Don't bring your new phone to Dubai, man. They just announced a complete Blackberry Ban. You could end up jail -- or worse.

Get the Pan-Banmug. The sad state of affairs of being without sex, and being unlikely to have it any time soon. Period of sexual drought/celibacy, whether "by choice" or enforced.
"If this hosepipe ban goes on for much longer, I may have to start going to Jumpin' Jaks'"
"She looks miserable, must be on a hosepipe ban again"
"Oh my god, he's gorgeous! He could lift my hosepipe ban anytime".
