BIBLICAL ELFIN SAFETY
Title inspired by the ASI Team, but I just wanted to show that health and safety mandating has a long, even ancient pedigree. Here’s the Good Book:

When you build a new house, you shall make a parapet for your roof, that you may not bring the guilt of blood upon your house, if any one fall from it. (Deut. 22.8)

BIT OF FUN
If you want a few smiles today why not drop by the Spine. I particularly liked these entries on the only useful diplomat ever to have served at the UN and this apt comment on the last year’s Toynbee-Churchill debate in the Tory party, and as for this I wonder how long that’ll remain satire?
Another fun site has been this. There’s a Biblical abuse generator and I thought this on the faking of the moonlandings was quite good; and here are those reinforcements for Bush’s Iraq surge, and I guess there’s plenty more where they came from. Coming to think of it, if the fitness requirements are dropped I might volunteer myself . . .
On a slightly critical note, this is very funny, but ask yourself if Michael Moore had made this?

THE BIBLE ON CROSSDRESSING
Reasonable people may doubt that the Bible really needed to address the vexed moral question of whether or not it’s ok to wear clothing generally associated with the opposite sex. But whilst having a little evening browse through the Good Book I found this:
That’s quite enough for now, but there’s plenty more where that came from . . .
I still find this quite perplexing though. What is the proper meaning behind this prohibition? Often I can see what the point about some injunctions is, but I realy can’t figure this one out.

Oh dear looks like I’m in some trouble then. Want to know hwhy? Here’s a hint:"A woman shall not wear anything that pertains to a man, nor shall a man put on a woman's garment; for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord your God" (Deut.22.5)
