Look if you want to prove that world wars cause left handedness there's really no need, that's already been very well established.

Thank god the cold war never went hot. Who knows how many left handed people there would be around today!

I think you're reading it wrong. The sinisters came first, so clearly they caused the wars. And how many years is it America has been not at war since 1943?

While we're setting some lesser known rules to play rock paper scissors safely, it's also apparently frowned upon to destroy scissors by trying to cut David's marble dick off.

But Paper alone changes fundamentally, win or lose. Scissors remains fine if it wins and Rock neither notices nor cares in either scenario.

They should let you take off a little.

Circumcision would make it more historically accurate.

Well now I am not so sure. Looking around on the Internet, I see a lot of claims like this

quote:

Circumcision was different in the time of David and is actually correctly noted in the statue with just the tip of the foreskin removed. It wouldn't become a more common practice to completely remove the skin until roman times. Michelangelo, by all accounts, is accurate to David's time.

But they're all from commenters or quotes. I can't find a better source... yet!

So maybe this is just one of those things I "learned" just for the sake of dropping mad fact bombs but never checked up on it :|

I like your style hombre, but this is no laughing matter. Assault on a police officer. Theft of police property. Illegal possession of a firearm. FIVE counts of attempted murder. That comes to... 29 dollars and 40 cents. Cash, cheque, or credit card?

In the book Breaking Their Will, by Janet Heimlich, I recall the assertion that the requirement of the covenant is basically that the penis look visibly different from non-Jews' penises. This doesn't require removing much tissue. I don't know what Heimlich's source was for the claim and don't actually own a copy of the book to check. It was something I grabbed off the shelf at my university library because I was bored out of my mind with whatever I was trying to study and the visual design of the spine was striking.

The full removal of the foreskin is something I associate more with late 19th / early 20th century American health reformers (like Kellogg), but now that I think about it, it's more that I associate that movement with circumcision becoming widespread for non-religious reasons. I have no idea what religious practitioners were doing at the time.

That's not really relevant to whether a Jewish king would be circumcised.

The David story many times calls the Philistines "uncircumcised." This is to forge an identity around that marker. This is before "the Jews." It's probably after this point where it becomes a given.

Who is this uncircumcised Philistine that he should defy the armies of the living God?'"

But it's only the later authors who reference circumcision. The oldest author is only concerned with the drama, no piety, no goliath.
