From the vantage point of our new apartment, I’ve been able to gain some insight into Lebanese apartment construction. Some of the gizmos people have on their roofs are a bit odd. One in particular confused me for a while. I think I’ve finally had a eureka moment with a strange piece of equipment on the building across from us. I thought it might be fun to have a little guessing game to see if you folks can figure it out too.
No hints from you Lebanese folks who already know what it is!

Their very own R2D2?
a chimney extension sort of... with a cross on its top ? Presuming they're a superstitious or religious christian family ?
the chimney in lebanon is called soobya or chaufage , alot of carbon monoxide is present as a byproduct of incomplete combustion (burning) ... not safe , and the fumes are mazoot petrol fuel (diesel)fumes... I hope I got it right ? :) whats an r2d2 ,lol ?
Lamoos.
An R2D2 is one of the earliest models of the modern domestic homosexual as depicted metaphorically by mainstream Hollywood.
water pump
The mystery object is actually a roof-mounted muffler for the apartmenr building's generator. No information is available on whether or not it might be gay.
I thought 3P0 is the "modern domestic homeosexuell as depicted by mainstream Hollywood" as there is no way I could say it just as well in my own words
