| DUBAI — A fatwa has been issued by Dubai Islamic Affairs Department (DIAD) to ban printing of names that include the 99 names of Almighty God such as Abdul Rahman, Abdullah, Abdul Salam as well as names of prophets and saints on the labels of sample bottles provided by hospitals and laboratories to the patients. A top official at DIAD said the fatwa bans writing or printing the name of Almighty God on stool or urine samples desecrates the glorious names of God. I think they are taking HIPPA a little too far. |

| #4 Barbara, Please do not start singing the song about 99 bottles of beer. There is a fatwa against that. It was not issued because of the drinking of the beer. It was issued to spare people the resulting headaches from such a moronic song. Thank you for your cooperation, and pass the popcorn, please. |

| #1 the 99 attributes are things like al-rahman = the beneficent al-salam = the peaceful al-lah = the god of course people have names like the ones listed are proper names (servent of the beneficent, etc)whose blood, stool, saliva or urine would be sampled Probably they all have some digital identity which could be used on the label but it would be a hoot if they didn't. |
