    I read this too and was SO confused! What the heck are antics?! I thought it was drugs, alcohol, sexual toys... but they really mean like 'tricks'? I'm STILL confused -- which is often how I feel after reading the Arab Times. Little bit of information, poor editing, and no follow-up.

    I think we got the point that it was antiques, but ridiculous to have that level of "quality" in a leading daily "English" paper.

Thanks for stopping by and it is so nice to hear from you! Just a few words on commenting: Through this blog, I won’t tolerate intolerance, hatred, finger-pointing or personal vendettas. If I even get those types of comments, I will most likely delete them because I believe it defeats the purpose of positive efforts and energy. Stop the hate.
