Moses was an addict?

"As far Moses on Mount Sinai is concerned, it was either a supernatural cosmic event, which I don’t believe, or a legend, which I don’t believe either, or finally, and this is very probable, an event that joined Moses and the people of Israel under the effect of narcotics," Shanon told Israeli public radio on Tuesday.

Of course it’s probable when you exclude the other possibilities. The world may be round, which I don’t believe, or flat, which I don’t believe either, or finally, and this is very probable, could be on the back of a giant tortoise with turtles all the way down.

Was that whole "manna from heaven" thing just the excuse Moses used when he got the munchies?

Come on. We already know how the 10 commandments were really given.

“I think it would be a good idea.”

"I think it would be a good idea."

Constantly swarmed by press and photographers, [Mahatma] Gandhi
was peppered with questions wherever he went. One day a reporter yelled
out, "What do you think of Western civilization?"

It was a defining
moment, and Gandhi’s reply instantly transformed him from an object of
curiosity into a celebrity. In his heavy Indian accent, he answered:
"I think it would be a good idea."

From a collection of history’s greatest retorts.
