1. is "divers" a typo or is that "bible spelling"?

[HillWilliam]

4. That's an old spelling

You see the same in Burton's Tales of a Thousand Nights.

5. Well, they don't like diver's garments either.

Gateway to eating shellfish and all, ya know.

2. excellent find!!

so true... shouldn't mix wool and linen!!!


English Standard Version:
"You shall not wear cloth of wool and linen mixed together"

[HopeHoops]

3. That's one I've never figured out. Shellfish? Check. Cloven-hoof? Check. Wool/Linen? WTF?

Most of the OT "shalt nots" were for health and general human social interaction. WTF is up with the wool/linen thing? Anybody know?

8. If one were to make a garment

that mixed wool and linen (or possibly another combination), when the garment is washed, the fabric (or fibers) shrink, or don't, differently. That could create a very unseemly look to the garment. Now, as a crafter of garments... it can also create a very unique and hip look but that wouldn't have been appreciated thousands of years ago!!

[HopeHoops]

9. Okay. I can see that. Just don't use hot water to wash it.

11. ...

6. But what about Polartec and Spandex?

Vinyl and leather?

[montanto]

7. Foreskin and latex are definitely out with this guy.

[HopeHoops]

10. Well DEFINITELY the foreskin part - that requires a cock to cut it off of.

Akroid: "Everything was FINE until dickless here shut off the reactor."

Mayor: "Is this true?"

Murphy: "Yes sir. This man has no dick."

12. lol

13. Ask Ricky the exchange rate for dollars to shekels ... after all ...

Deuteronomy 22:28-29

New International Version (NIV)

28 If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered, 29 he shall pay her father fifty shekels[a] of silver. He must marry the young woman, for he has violated her. He can never divorce her as long as he lives.
