Bab Tuma
Bab Tuma (Arabic: باب توما, meaning: "Thomas’ Gate") is a borough of Old Damascus in Syria, one of the gates inside the historical walls of the city, and a geographic landmark of Early Christianity. It owes its name to Thomas, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ.
Famous residents included: Saint Paul the most notable of Early Christian missionaries (hence expressions such as “the road to Damascus experience”), Saint Thomas himself who after lending his name to the neighborhood went on to explore India. Saint Ananias, French writer Alphonse de Lamartine, Greek Orthodox theologian Saint Joseph of Damascus, founder of the Damascus Patriarcal School, Raphael Hawawini, known as Saint Raphael of Brooklyn, the first Orthodox Bishop of New York city (he was sent to the US in 1895 by the Czar of Russia), and Syrian-born philosopher Michel Aflaq, founder of the Ba'ath Party and ba'athist thought.
In the 16th century, following the occupation of Antioch and Alexandretta by Turkish troops, the borough of Bab Tuma became the seat of the Greek Orthodox and Greek Catholic Churches for the Northern Levant (Syria, Lebanon and Southern Turkey).

You Can Be Mean To Me
by: Bob & TomYou can be mean to me
Mean as you want to be
Just say anything that you like
You can be nasty and caddy
cruel and unusual
twist my nose with your fingers
trip me while i carry liquids
And as you pin me down
my arms right on the ground
as your spit drips into my face
deep in the back of your mind
remember at some point youll have to fall asleep
And when you fall asleep
into your room ill creep
did something move in the dark neath your bed
and then a voice you hear
its calling loud and clear
a voice that is you own
a voice thats saying "aaaargh"
theres thing that one can do with bengay
naire and superglue
a package of indellible dye
why would a guy
such as i ever buy
indellible dye
blue as the sky
don't ask me why
this catalouge i found
sells roaches by the pound millipedes
centipedes too
They say the meek shall inherit
because they stay up late and change the will
And when you fall asleep
into your room ill creep
did something move in the dark neath your bed
and then a voice you hear
its calling loud and clear
a voice that is you own
