Now that was scarry! I hope that you didn't get big hail! A few years ago, we had so much hail that it piled up several inches deep. The biggest hail stones I saw were about 3 cm. I watched it coming down through a window (probably not a smart thing to do!). The falling hail was so thick that I could barely see through it. The event lasted for a few minutes. Don't want to see that again! I once saw the sky turn green right before a tornado. Now that was scarry! I hope that you didn’t get big hail!

That's great! Also, I completely agree that Henson was a genius. Recently, there was a bit fuss about some sort of Palestinian "Muppet" teaching little kids to become suicide bombers. I was horrified! Well, thankfully that was pulled off the air very quickly. I'm glad to hear that some real Muppets are coming to Israel/Palestine. I hope the show can teach respect and tolerance to kids from both groups! Hey, watch out for Agent Smith! ;) Anarki, I didn’t know there was an Arabic version of The Muppets! That’s great!
