    I am not being soapy, merely laughing at stupidity. Leviticus tells you not to eat pig, but says that slavery is fine. Go figure.

        No, it's much harder to slip away unnoticed in the desert.

          Hey, none of my slaves have ever complained. Besides isn't 'Mexican Flu' somewhat more romantic and glamorous than 'Swine Flu'? I'd much rather come down with an exotic sounding flu than the more pedestrian 'Swine Flu'. Just a thought. In any case and, as I previously droned on about, this would not be the first time a name was changed for no good reason; take 'Freedom Fries' for 'French Fries'.

              French Fries were invented in Belgium! Where did Swine 'flu come from?

                    This seems like a legitimate concern to me. You must be familiar with the text from the Torah: "Thou shalt not eat from the flesh of that animal, the name of which we are not allowed to mention."

                        I can't tell you. What's more it has been so long since we were allowed to mention it, that no-one can even remember what it looks like.
