Thanks for the link. All this strikes me as equally silly superstition. This stuff is "proved" and then "disproved" and something else "proved". And such a huge part of the world is involved in it, battling to the death even. Amazing.

I'll guess that God bestows success on them because they deserve it, the old Puritan settlers in America line. Am I close? It still doesn't explain this line about the camel. > > >Andy > > ------------------------------------------------------------------ To change your Lit-Ideas settings (subscribe/unsub, vacation on/off, digest on/off), visit www.andreas.com/faq-lit-ideas.html ------------------------------------------------------------------ To change your Lit-Ideas settings (subscribe/unsub, vacation on/off, digest on/off), visit www.andreas.com/faq-lit-ideas.html ------------------------------------------------------------------ To change your Lit-Ideas settings (subscribe/unsub, vacation on/off, digest on/off), visit www.andreas.com/faq-lit-ideas.html
