“Then she calloused and hardened those toes into durable, tough ‘nobs’ which gave primal man a good, tenacious grip on the ground.

[Note: The term “Adamite ancestors” in the ad likely refers to descendants of Adam, as in Adam and Eve from the Bible. However, the term also has a more specific historical context. The Adamites believed they had regained the primeval innocence of Adam and Eve before the Fall. They practiced nudism during their religious assemblies, rejecting marriage and other social norms, which they saw as unnecessary in their state of regained purity. This sect was often considered heretical by mainstream Christian authorities.]](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54004884213_699beaae6d_q.jpg "Wed, 2024-09-18 11:15 - “Nature makes no mistakes in her ‘inventions.’ Among the million or so things she ‘invented,’ were feet for our Adamite ancestors to walk on – and toes to make walking sure.

Christian Pigs Must Die

Egypt is slaughtering hogs to prevent a swine flu outbreak:
The cull was going ahead despite there being no cases of swine flu in Egypt. However, neighbouring Israel has two confirmed cases in humans.
"It is decided to slaughter all swine herds present in Egypt, starting from today," said Health Minister Hatem el-Gabali, according to Mena news agency.
Maybe the target is not a virus:
The pigs in Egypt, a largely Muslim country, are raised by the Coptic Christian community.
Hogs are not contributing to the speculated pandemic. The threat is human-to-human transmission. But Egypt’s government insists those pigs must die. Sure seems like a panic is being used to justify persecution a religious minority.
