Ahhhh... I'm speachless... to say 'Off Topic' is understatement. Maybe some Joe Camel references will follow next. Although I was surprised to see a reference to cigarettes in Genisis 24:64, And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she lighted off the camel. Just a little overkill though don't ya think? coreolyn	[reply]

Yes, I apologise for the .. er, size of the post. I regretted it soon after posting. I just found the number of references to camels (62 in 59 verses) interesting, and wanted to share. Sorry. -- notsoevil -- My favorite: Jeremiah 49:32 - And their camels shall be a booty. . .	[reply]
