The bible is a collection of fairytales

Just in case you missed this:

Camels appear in stories of early Jewish patriarchs in the Bible, even though it was before the animals’ time, evidence that writing or editing of the book happened long after the events it narrates. 

(Ahem.)

Artichoke Annie's fantastic voyage

Longtime commenter Artichoke Annie has been on a long cruise this month, and she's chronicling every step of the trip on her blog. G'wan over and check it out. Today's post has her on a camel as she visits a Bedoin tribe in Safaga, Egypt.

The idea of being on a 41-day cruise to truly exotic places is so appealing. I'm trying not to burn with envy, but it's difficult.
