I figured that was the intent, it just didn't work as well for me.

I'm not saying this was an invalid interpretation. As I noted in my reply to
Lenny, I think that the Sanhedren's condemnation of Christ was based on this
passage, or passages like it. I just felt that this and the next two stories
were more deliberate tweaking of Christians' noses on your part.

There were a couple of little tricks that you could build and do yourself. One
was a container that you put a coin in and your spin it around and the coin
disappeared (fell out the back). The page in LEGO Magazine was illustrated with
a little magician minifig in a top hat.

Thanks. I always like to learn more about how other people approach this
challenge of doing a very large long term project like yours or mine (not that
I'm making progress on mine at anywhere near your rate).
So another section of the Law. Then what? I'm still hoping to see your
interpretation of some of the more poetic language of the Psalms.
