AH HA!  I KNEW I wasn't the only one who watched Bullshit! [img]smile.gif[/img]
There are currently theories around that say there were no slaves in Egypt
however neither position that I know of has a leg up on being truth at this point. Penn and Teller did give good evidence as to why they think there were none....but failed to answer the many questions that arise if that were in fact the case. [img]smile.gif[/img] That was an interesting episode though [img]smile.gif[/img] Even though they completely trashed the bible in unnecessary ways...but I suppose thats also part of the show [img]smile.gif[/img]
* Penn & Teller's Bullshit, Season 2, episode 6.
** I don't necessarily imply that I agree with all of John F. Burns's calculations and conclusions (even though Saddam was a cruel dictator either way, period), just that this is one of the more extreme death counts I was able to find.
