CK and I have figured out one of the world’s greatest mysteries:
Why were the Israelites roaming the Sinai desert and not, let’s say, Alaska?
Have you ever tried peeing a name into the snow in Hebrew characters?
q.e.d.

Because if we had landed in Alaska, we’d have oil, and that would have made things too easy 😉
That explanation was taken from psychology. Besides, if it’s an innate fear, it should already be there and not triggered by my explanation (which doesn’t affect the need to relieve oneself, but doesn’t make it a creative pastime either). And Muffti cannot make me believe that every square inch of Israel is covered in sand these days. 🙂
Great. Now your explanation has the children of Israel strolling around (for many many years) a place they are scared to pee. Muffti can see why you guys aren’t scientists!
Um. What?
Yes, she indeed has. Possibly because Froylein’s home is as far up north as Newfoundland. 🙂
I once read that men possess an innate fear that something could be blocking their ureter, which sand could – theoretically – do whereas snow melts.
Has Froylein ever see anybody pee a name into snow?
Has Muffti ever seen anybody pee a name into the desert sand?
Yet another talent of Ben-David’s is revealed…
Look, Muffti hates to be a spoilsport, but this explanation would keep the israelites from trudging around the desert. Ever tried to pee out a hebrew letter in sand?
I won’t ask… 😀
1) Sphincter control.
2) Circumcision increases accuracy.
