Entertaining response, Thomas -- thanks. And you had a question, I
believe...

Where did you come up with that?
Leviticus 11:20-23, in a discussion of dietary laws. Here's the
passage, from the New International Version ('cause that version's easy
to search at Gospelcom):
^20 " 'All flying insects that walk on all fours are to be detestable to
you. ^21 There are, however, some winged creatures that walk on all
fours that you may eat: those that have jointed legs for hopping on the
ground. ^22 Of these you may eat any kind of locust, katydid, cricket or
grasshopper. ^23 But all other winged creatures that have four legs you
are to detest."
I was a bit surprised when I ran across this for the first time, a few
years back, when I was reading the Bible just to find out what it
actually said.
