1- Yasser Arafat did an interview with Playboy magazine in 1988.
2- Ralph Nader, who ran for US president several times and running this time as well, is originally Lebanese and is fluent in Arabic.
3- The Gipsy Kings is a French band.
4- Paula Abdul is a Syrian Jew. Bob Dylan is a Turkish Jew in origin. Singer Layla Murad is an Egyptian Jew. David Letterman is not Jewish!
5- Jordan ranks 5th in the world among countries exporting phosphorus rocks.
6- A football game between El Salvador and Honduras in 1969 triggered a 5-day war between both countries. It was called the football war (although there were other factors predisposing to this war).
7- What's common between a Pakstani president (Zia al-Haqq), A UN Secretary-General (Hammerskjold), the Philippines president (Magsaysay) ? They all died in plane crashes.
8- There were 4 plane crashes invovling Royal Jordanian. In 1965 in Damascus, 1973 in Nigeria, 1975 Morocco, 1979 in Qatar. Nothing since 1979 and hopefully it will stay this way!
9- Remember the SARS virus infection 4 years ago? The Italian scientist who first discovered the virus died from a SARS infection.
10 - The grandson of former Egyptian president Gamal Abdul Nassir (from his daughter) is the founder of Melody music channel.
