Divorse for calling wife a mouse

A Dubai court granted a divorce to a 28-year-old Arab woman because she was offended when her husband said she looked like a mouse.

The court said comparing the wife to a mouse was an insult to a "mother, wife and a woman".

"The mouse is a disgusting animal. A woman should not be compared to it or any other animal," said the lawyer of the woman, a mother of three children.

The Dubai Sharia Court of First Instance had earlier turned down the wife's claim for divorce. She then appealed and was granted the divorce. The 37-year-old husband was also ordered to pay her a monthly maintenance.

The traffic...

...is getting worse by the day. Almost 213 000 new cars were registered in Dubai alone last year, which is an increase by 30 percent. No wonder we have all these traffic congestions!

On the picture, you can see how the Dubai metro is being built - a monorail system that will give people like me an option when it comes to transport. At least in 2008 when the first rails are planned to be finished.
