Hah, your encyclopedia is wrong. The reason most religions have rules governing their food stocks, customs and laws is because it was a way to;

a- show obedience to god
and
b- seperate different communities.

There's also the fact that in the 1st book of Jewish law [the Christian bibles "Old testament" it says God gave us fruit and crops to eat and to "Govern" the world. In other words, not kill and rape all the animals. Like, if the chinese decided they were to govern the world, would you really want them to kill and eat us? Sure maybe lock us in farms to grow their food but meh. That's why they had so many rules governing food.

...Btw I'm studying theology [study of religions]

More interesting facts Craig, very cool!!
re: Dang's reply I agree with Sailor though don't think you'll find it implicitly stated anywhere in any holy book "Do not eat pig or it'll poison you"....
hmm, new facts...
Fucking Telecom ad on tv at the moment is a good place to start Don Juan was not a real person but a narrative poem by Lord Byron.

Speaking of people who aren't real
Alan Smithee is a name used by Hollywood directors to distance themselves from films where they feel they've lost their artistic control and no longer wish to be recognized for their involvement. it an anagram for "The Alias Men". The BBC uses the name David Agnew, George Spelvin and Walter Plinge have similarly been used for theater.

The concept on 'Zero' came from India.

Some believe the pyramids are an adaptation of the Summerian 'Ziggaurat' with the 'step pyramid' at Saqqara being the important missing link.

Aleister Crowley was brought up in an 'exclusive bretheren' family. Besides being dubbed the most evil man alive he was also aa great chess player once destined to be a chess master, a mountain climber who took a shot at Everest and K2, poet, critic and nearly war hero as Ian (James Bond) Fleming suggested getting Crowley to write misleading horroscopes for Nazi big guy Rudolph Hess- the plan never happened after Hess jumped on board a plane and flew himself into the UK.

When Homer 'wrote' the Iliad and the Odyssey he didn't really. Besides being blind the greeks had no written language at the time (the writing known now as Linear B got lost after the Doric invasion) He told the stories and people remembered them, for almost 500 years. They are believed to be two of the first 3 things besides inventory lists written in Greek.

Speaking of writing, we have 26 letters in the alphabet but 44 sounds in English speech. These sounds are known as Phonemes. Not every language has the same sounds.

The word 'Buddy' comes from African slaves picking up English words but their language not having the same phonemes hearing (and saying) things differently. It is the Creole word for "Brother'

Just a few random things
