???? (gamla) means both "camel" and "heavy rope" in Aramaic (I'm not sure if the Aramaic script worked). Which of the two meanings do you think fits the saying better? :)

I think that the idea of "the commodification of literature" is one that is flawed Brian - 08/12/2010 07:53:50 AM 1196 Views
I think you misunderstand me, to some extent at least Larry - 09/12/2010 03:19:20 AM 940 Views
Discussions of ebook piracy are largely irrelevant until more people use e-readers. Ghavrel - 08/12/2010 10:41:40 AM 983 Views

That's not my argument at all Larry - 11/12/2010 08:13:36 PM 894 Views
