a thought for christmas....

Do you know what would of happened if it had been three wise women instead of three wise men?
they would have asked for directions, arrived on time, helped deliver the baby, cleaned the stable, made a casserole, brought practical gifts AND there would of been peace on earth

merry christmas :D

Plus add in that in those days thr arab empire wasn't what it is today, add to that the fact that it wasn't islamic(mohammd was't born at this point) and likely that most people of that area probably dressed in headscarf etc to keep the sand out.


Take your pick from any/all of teh above.

Err, asked for direction, still got lost, never arrived so teh whole christian religion would have never made it and we would be muslim due to a lack of any alternatives.

Add to that a complete lack of loss of life through religious conflict the world would be over populated and we would be paying a fortune for housing :D

Its a common known fact that blokes have much better navigation due to cavemen going hunting whereas cave WOMEN never left sight of the cave as it was their role t be their for the little ones. Same as spatial awareness... however it also explains teh fire watching..... :D
