The Ayatollahâ€™s book of Etiquetteâ€¦.

The sweat of a camel that has eaten something un-clean is "un-clean" -- as opposed to the sweat of a camel generally?

Also, god doesn't hear the prayers of a menstruating woman? I aways suspected as much, its is good to have it confirmed.

exactly how does the sweat of a camel eat something, clean or not clean?

And did he even have to write this one down? I can think of more than 4 places...

"Evacuation is unlawful in four places. First, in dead-end alleys. Second, on the property of a person who has not given his permission. Third, in a place assigned to a specific group of people, such as some schools. Fourth, over the graves of the faithful, if it would be considered disrespectful. "

2,629. It is not unlawful to swallow the food that exits from between the teeth as a result of flossing if one's nature has no aversion to it.

who's keeping an eye on that one?

Almost forgot...

2,631. It is loathsome to eat the meat of a horse, a mule, or a donkey if someone has had coitus with the animal

I don't think it needs commentary

Apparently, however, it would be ok to eat the meet if someone had only had foreplay with animal....

is that really confirmation? to me, it seems that god only doesn't hear the prayer if menstruation begins during the prayer. whether the prayers of menstruating women are heard in other circumstances is an entirely different issue. btw, why the heck would peeling fruit be loathsome?

See, I would've put baby-killing somewhere up there. I guess that's just me...

Heck, I've been known to do all of those before noon. Except for the shrouds - I save those.
