"Colonel Gaddafi&amp;#039;s personal translator collapsed mid-way through the Libyan leader&amp;#039;s speech to the UN last week. Top politicians had been allocated 15 minutes of speaking time, but Gaddafi talked for over 90 minutes on subjects ranging from swine flu conspiracy theories to the 1963 assassination of John F. Kennedy. According to the New York Post, after 75 minutes the translator shouted in Arabic: &amp;quot;I just can&amp;#039;t take it anymore!&amp;quot; Another translator said: &amp;quot;His interpreter just collapsed - this is the first time I have seen this in 25 years.&amp;quot; Gaddafi had reportedly broken with protocol to bring his own team of translators to New York, but following the incident UN Arabic section chief Rasha Ajalyaqeen took over for the final 20 minutes. Ajalyaqeen was given the following day off work, and a source said: &amp;quot;Ten minutes with Gaddafi earns you a lot of annual leave.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
