Did you know that with Greenwich Mean Time there's a discrepancy of 8.5 minutes between the Northern and Southern hemispheres? And that if we used Mecca Mean Time instead, that discrepancy would disappear? Dr. Abd Al-Baset Al-Sayyed, from the Egyptian National Research Centre, explains:
Abd Al-Baset Al-Sayyid: It has been proven that there is a certain discrepancy if we calculate it according to Greenwich. This discrepancy has been estimated as 8.5 minutes between the northern and southern hemispheres.Interviewer: How much?
Abd Al-Baset Al-Sayyid: 8.5 minutes. Air traffice cannot be organized this way. They are aware of this, and so they try to change it.
Interviewer: Really?
Abd Al-Baset Al-Sayyid: Yes. If they calculated time according to Mecca, it would be the same in the northern and southern hemispheres.
Interviewer: Surely they know this...
Abd Al-Baset Al-Sayyid: Yes, but we have to work on these things. We must declare this, and we must convene a large conference with them, and tell them that time must be calculated according to Mecca.
Interviewer: What other benefits are there to calculating time according to Mecca?
Abd Al-Baset Al-Sayyid: If you calculate time according to Mecca, those 8.5 minutes... The magnetic field of Earth, for example... What I say is that there are people at the North Pole and the South Pole who cannot come here in multitudes.
Interviewer: Really?
Abd Al-Baset Al-Sayyid: This is because the magnetic force is concentrated there, which affects people's blood and the biological movement of life. It has been proven that if magnetism, anywhere, exceeds 1,000 gauss, which equals one tenth of a tesla, it affects the ability of the hemoglobin in the blood to carry oxygen to the body's tissues, the ability of the blood to carry oxygen to the tissues.
Interviewer: In other words, the ability to live...
Abd Al-Baset Al-Sayyid: Yes, to live... This means is that when you are in Mecca, the ability of the blood to carry oxygen to the tissues is greater than anywhere else in the world.
More oxygen in my tissues, AND all those virgins. Looks like I'm converting.

It's so good to have a 'National Research Centre'!

I fail to see what's so amusing about the 8.5 minute discrepancy in air traffic among infidels. It proves, after all, that it was the Jews who destroyed the World Trade Center; had it been Muslims, the impact would have been at 9:00 sharp, due not only to more accurate timing but also to the greater, like, magnetism of the hemoglobin in the pilot's, uh, bloodstream. And stuff.
The real beauty of this is that it's on television. Satellite television. In the hands of people who think that... that... I don't even *know* what he thinks! Jumping Jesus!

8.5 minutes?!!! Criky; Mecca's 1400 YEARS out of sync!
