Never Eat Anything Bigger than Your Head

[strange_aeons]

I have been all about the quoting lately. Partly this is because I haven't had many post-length thoughts of sufficient clarity for me to get more than a few lines out of them without dissolving into footshuffling and metasyntactic variability. Partly this is because I hang out with the coolest people in the world.

Babbage says, "You know, talking about the bible is a lot more interesting than Calculus. :P"
Whitney says, "Speaking of, I'm terribly amused by the comment in the book I just read putting the 'do not lie with a man as you would with a woman' line in a certain context."
Tesla says, "What was the comment?"
Whitney says, "Remember that ancient Judaism was OCD. Do Not Grow Two Kinds Of Seed In The Same Field. Do Not Make Clothes From Two Kinds Of Fiber. The theory is that aquatic stuff without scales and fins were unclean and unfit for eating was because God Made Fish With Fins And Scales, and anything that didn't have fins and scales was therefore somehow weirdly gone wrong. Also that the whole cloven-hooved cud-chewers because clearly God intended that, and pigs have cloven hooves but don't chew cud so what's up with them. (And camels chew the cud, but don't have cloven hooves; also fucked up.)"
Whitney says, "Now consider that the Hebrew for woman is 'orifice-bearer' and remember that there's also a Levitical prohibition against cross-dressing. The whole lying with a man as one would with a woman therefore may well be a prohibition against violating the OCD categorisations."
Whitney says, "Things go in ONE and ONLY ONE box. ;)"

I find myself wondering what happens when you stuff a camel with a pig (and a bunch of chickens) instead of a lamb (and a bunch of chickens). I know that should just be ultra treyf, but part of me insists that they should cancel each other out.

Depends on whether or not you include cheese sauce.
