I've found when washing LEGO that tiles get very sticky when wet, perhaps you
can use that and blaim rain or something :)

In fact, the prelouge to the third Book of Moses (what ever that is in English)
in my year 2000 translation says (freely translated):
"A lot of what is said in this book might seem strange and even repulsive. The
imagineworld [1] behind alot of what is said, is so different to our own time
that it becomes uncomprehensible with out a understanding of Gods holyness."
:)
1. The correct translation from Swedish to English would say "dreamworld" or
"delusion" but, however true that might be, can't be written in the bible.

Nope, just the general tone of it :)

In fact as I read the book I'm thinking "I'd like to see Brendan do this or
that", especially in the books of Kings where they sacrifice some 1.000 sheep
on one day etc. they were so busy sacrifying they could not prepare their own
meals and had to get help...
