People in Lebanon’s capital woke up to the following scene of the river that runs at the edge of the city:
Since we’re very close to lent, some people have gotten a new feel for religion and called this a miracle, à la Jesus turning water into wine.
Greenpeace, however, has decided to investigate the matter and has taken water samples from the water. Or it could be a consequence of snow melting, soil erosion, dust or any other natural consequence of the current weather.
Either way, I still have no clue why people call this a river.

It turned out to be a dye that was thrown into the river.
