    Are you sure they didn't just misinterpret their results? That seems to be the case a lot these days.

    Yeah Mister Warren Buffet made one hell of a jester. The Bible says it’s about as hard for a rich man to enter the gates of heaven as it is for a camel to fit through the eye of a needle. Something like that maybe he read that to and is beginning to feel his mortality.

    And maybe he just wanted to be a nice guy.

    Dan must be furious. He's spelling things correctly.

    Likely they did, but according to the basic understanding of microcosmos thats the explanation. Wether they found a flaw or a breakthrough, it is anyway a major step in mapping the universe.

    Eye of the needle was one of the gates of Jerusalem. No camels allowed. Probably possible to get one in though. Wether it be a rabid wild one, or the kings favorite desertracer.

    It is anyway a good argument that religion is more than opium for the people. It is a drug for the upper classes as well.

    I know about the small entrance through the wall story. Actually I believe it was a good idea in order to route camel traffic away from the pedestrian area. Same theory holds true anyways. But I don't think anyone is certain weather the parable came from a reference to the gate or the gate got its name in reference to the parable.
