"Top blog/Renato Obeid's World/Today's pick: This rambling weblog is worth reading not so much for its satirical posts but more for its insight into the minutiae of life in Lebanon, including the etiquette of road accidents and how to hire a taxi.”

TWELVE APATHETIC AUSTRALIAN MEN
-An apathetically short play by Renato Obeid
CHARACTERS: Twelve jurors.
SCENE: Twelve jurors in a jury room are deadlocked and unable to reach a consensus on a guilty verdict as one solitary standout juror has voted "innocent".
ACT ONE
DISSENTING JUROR: He's innocent I tell ya!
JURY FOREMAN: But we all reckon he's guilty!
DISSENTING JUROR: Enough already, all right I give up - he's guilty!
JURY FOREMAN: Guilty it is by unanimous consensus!
