The Temple of Dagon

Kinky sex!?

Yes, in Pharonic Egypt it was believed that the nocturnal sounds of insects were the calls of evil spirits, and that a pig ate the Sun at night-this was called the wisdom of the Ancients.

thats pritty cool

I wonder what bacon from a pig that eats the sun tastes like....

Don't you know that pigs are ritually unclean?
And pretty good pets, too.

Sacrelicious!

On a serious note, cows and pigs are held to be inedible by agricutureal people because they are more valuable as sources of fertilizer than as meat.
I always wondered why the Prodigal Son ended up as a swineherd, in Palestine, now it makes sense.
"All you need is dung...lalalalala....All you need is dung.."

Which agricultural people are these?

The Hindus, the Egyptians,and the people of Palestine(who were all involved in farming when they had something besides sand to plant in) these folks all realized that a cow or a pig could be a very efficient fertilizer factory, and that a cow can make milk and cheese for many years, but only be eaten once.
And Palestine had more ethnic groups than the Hebrews-Samaritans, Philistines, Arabs, Assyrians all lived there, or occupied the place.
They seem to share a reluctance to eat the dear piggie-and with good reason.
And wasn't Noah's bad son named Ham?
Inquiring minds want to know!

Interesting. In celtic countries pigs were reared primarily for their meat.There's a very old saying that the only part of a pig you can't eat is the oink.

Europe has richer soil.
Midaeval peasants used to do something similar, though, they'd take an exhausted field, flood it, and introduce carp.
Wait a while, drain the field, eat the carp, and plant again.
Or plow the damned carp under-goldfish are pretty to look at, not so nice to eat!

Thanks for the history lesson...wait Noah had a son named Ham!

Yep.

VINCENT: Want a sausage?

JULES: Naw, I don't eat pork.

VINCENT: Are you Jewish?

JULES: I ain't Jewish man, I just don't dig on swine.

VINCENT: Why not?

JULES: They're filthy animals. I don't eat filthy animals.

VINCENT: Sausages taste good. Pork chops taste good.

JULES: A sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie. I'll never know 'cause even if it did, I wouldn't eat the filthy motherfucker. Pigs sleep and root in shit. That's a filthy animal. I don't wanna eat nothin' that ain't got enough sense to disregard its own feces.

VINCENT: How about dogs? Dogs eat their own feces.

JULES: I don't eat dog either.

VINCENT: Yes, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal?

JULES: I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy, but they're definitely dirty. But a dog's got personality. And personality goes a long way.

Fuck, I'd eat a dog. If it bleeds then you can barbeque it.
