When I was a student at MIU, I remember browsing through the stacks at the MIU library and coming across an English translation of the Talmud. Firstly, there were at least 20 volumes. Secondly, there were all sorts of weird instructions. Randomly, I picked up a volume and there were page upon page upon page on how a carpenter was supposed to pick up wood, cut it, etc. I couldn't believe it! There were instructions and laws and rules on pretty much anything you could think of! ------------------------ Yahoo!
