The funniest entry was this:

Percy Weasley writes an entry about: "You know, people
often ask me, 'Percy, what's your favourite country?'
And I find myself perplexed. I find the histories of
many countries fascinating. There is, of course,
Lebanon."

A series of responces follow, concluding with this:

"Mr. (Percy) Weasley, 

I am very impressed with your entry regarding Lebanon.
I, too, am somewhat of a history buff. Lebanon is a
very fascinating country with very entertaining
history. Here are a few little-known facts. 

The Phoenecians (the ancient Lebanese) were the first
to explore the coasts of West Africa and Britain in
1000 B.C. Lebanon is the only country in the Middle
East that does not have a desert. In January 1976, a
guerilla force blasted into the vaults of the British
Bank of the Middle East in Bab Idriss, cleaning out
the contents of the safe deposit. The boxes of cash
and other valuables were estimated by former Finance
Minister Lucien Dahdah at $50 million. It was the
singlemost lucrative bank robbery in history, occuring
during the worst civil unrest period ever in Beirut,
Lebanon. 

I would award points to your house for an entertaining
and informative entry, Mr. Weasley, however, that is
not possible since you are a Hogwarts graduate and no
longer a student. 

-Professor Snape"
