>>Of course it does, Tamar. You cite "a couple of articles" which suggest such an odd sleep schedule is, in fact, normal. God teaches us (through the wisest man who ever lived) that the laborer will have a proper sleep schedule, and the rich man will not because his abundance will prevent it.

>I think you are reading too much into the text
Gee, do you think? Sometimes I swear I think I'm reading the Onion instead of a post by someone who has the mental horsepower necessary to write code.
It really does support the case of those who didn't want "sacred" texts translated into the Vulgate lest the ignorant totally misunderstand them. <g>

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
