Okay fine---minor detail. Their special sandals were made of pitch and they just stuck to the bottom of the Sea of Galilea. Sheesh---some people require so much evidence.
Ohh, you're full of it, NC. I know a field geologist who's done extensive soil-sampling in that area, and as part of their PhD thesis they performed an extensive soil analysis that showed high-enough concentrations of salts and minerals such that black-tar pitch (AKA bitumen) would NEVER stick to the fibers of the sandal (much less hold a decompensating and bloating body underwater in the high salinity of the Sea of Gaiilee)....
So CLEARLY nothing BUT cement sandals would work....
So pfffttt to you, and all of your.... you.
PS Oh, and this one too (except less of the puppy-dog goofiness, and more of the bratiness)
PSS I just looked and "thorleaf flugerhaven" doesn't give any results on Google? Is it possible EE is making things up?
