| Iran to get Islamic bicycles | |
| 2007-05-19 | |
| Iran is to start manufacturing “Islamic bicycles” for women that conceals their figure, the government newspaper Iran reported yesterday. Iranian Allahfish are reported to have a need for them, too.
Conceal if you want, but gents can guess what the ladies are sitting on. Elaheh Sofali, an architect of the project, told Iran it would encourage womenÂ’s sports in the Islamic Republic. "Mom! I gonna go out and right my bike for awhile!" "Are you taking your Islamic bike, that hides you from the world from the belly button down?" "Yep." "Good girl." "I'm taking my vibrator too!" "Good idea. You'll never get any privacy at home!" Faezeh Hashemi, a daughter of former president Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, was instrumental in encouraging women to take to the saddle in the 1990s when she was in charge of womenÂ’s participation in the Olympics. But she was opposed by Islamic hardliners. "Nope. Nope. Can't have any of that!" | |

| #11 They may or may not have invented glass, but if they aren't careful they might have a real dominant position in the glass market - at least for the radioactive variant. 'Careful' could refer to an Iranian or Pakistani R&D accident - or to an ill-advised employment of a nuclear device elsewhere, with all it's associated 'returns'. |

| #9 The television, computers, toilets, and now Islamic bicycles - ill add it to my list of incredible inventions. lol All be it, I do believe they invented glass (although the western world has found much more use for it + technically I'm sure it was the Carthage empire which invented glass) |

| #8 The Islamic Bicycle mutilates the clitoris, hides critical parts, and only can be ridden in the direction of Mecca. Next, comes the islamic automobile, ironing board, stove, washing machine, etc. Unfortunately, the inventions look a lot like the Flintstone inventions. |

| #7 Jeez, they spend all together too much time concealing islamic women. They don't mind raping women in Euro countries. A sexually repressed bunch of boys. |

| #6 Now that you mention it, these types of bikes will be excellent for concealing bombs -- which means the 'Slums will be able to save on their 20 year old Toyotas. |

| #4 "Islamic bicycles", you say? Do they stop operating five times a day so that the rider must halt and pray? |

| #3 Perhaps I am wrong about muslims not being all that inventive. This is quite creative! Perhaps the real problem is they don't invent anything the rest of the planet feels is useful. Maybe I'm wrong. :-) |

| #1 "This bike has a cabin which conceals half of the cyclist’s body,” Oh gawd ! Talk about outrageous. This is the sort of thing these geniuses should concentrate on. Leave nukes to the genius Pakis. |
