One of the things I like about this place is how little chocolatey treats appear in places you don't expect. Like the mud chocolate cupcake that showed up in my desk drawer. Cocolate makes everything, even silly men who like to bruise each other, much better.

And you're very welcome, oh chocolate fairy. :)

Actually, if I remember my research correctly (and I do) - the Old Testament, or what passes for it today, was written comparatively recently on a grand scale. Before that, it was an oral history - and as simple logic tells us, oral histories are as accurate and relevant as an owner's manual for a Japanese car, written in French by a Swedish engineer, translated into English by a Spanish salesman, and read in Chinese by a Maori race car driver.

It's a metaphor. Dork.

Point being is that oral history is like the childhood game of "Telephone", taken to a millennial extreme. The chances of accuracy are so slim that it really can't be given any weight other than totally speculative fiction. Never trust any history that pre-dates scientific recording methods.
