A Saudi-Syrian Matrimony, of Wives and iPods and Zune………..
“Married. Abdul Aziz Ibn Abdulrahman Ibn Faisal Ibn Saud, King of Saudi Arabia; and the daughter of Sheik Nawal el-Shaalan of Damascus; by proxy, in Damascus, where 40 sheiks represented the absent bridegroom. Conqueror of Yahya the Imam of Yemen last year (TIME, May 14, 1934), creator and builder of modern Arabia, towering, bespectacled Ibn Saud has married and divorced more than 100 times, has never exceeded the limit of four wives at one time allowed him by sacred custom…..…”
One hundred only, and that was by 1935. He beat Larry King, Rush Limbaugh, and Liz Taylor combined. But it is no big deal: how many iPods does one person go through in , say, fifteen or twenty years these days? How many laptops? After all, a woman is not like a Microsoft Zune, which you buy once and can't wait to get rid of it never to buy another one again.
