The Average Mind Part IV

This was a blog entry from long ago, I just haven't had time to post it.
So, on the Internet, I saw an article about a professor in Jerusalem, Israel, who found a new plant near a mountain which many rabbis believe Mt. Sinai is. Now, this isn't your ordinary plant. When the fragrance of this special flower is inhaled, it puts the person who smells it into hallucinations. Thus, this professor concludes that everything that Bnai Yesrael saw at Sinai--the thunder, the lightning, and G-d's voice was a mere hallucination. If you haven't noticed, if this is true, then all we Jews have been following is one huge lie.
There was another professor that also came out with a study that says that the burning bush that Moses saw was actually a marijuana plant. Apparently, when a marijuana plant burns, the leaves will fall off, but the wood itself will not burn. (Don't ask me, I don't smoke pot.) And when the bush burns, it also induces hallucinations. Therefor, the whole prophecy that Moses heard was all imagined.
As of this isn't crazy enough, Lady Fingers are no longer kosher for Passover, because "Lady Fingers are an inappropriate name for a food."
You know, the Arabs hating us is good and all, but you have to admit--there really isn't anything like a Jew trying to disprove his own religion. How lovely.

"There's no antisemite like a Jewish antisemite"

Oh by the way: Lady Fingers cookies are still KfP, but they're no longer called "Lady Fingers". No one knows for sure, but possibly because of the "inappropriateness" of names.
