Why send them into any innocent animals at all? Guy is supposed to be some kind of fuckin' magician. Why not put the demons into some rocks and toss them over the cliff and into the ocean? He could even make a wish. Fair point. But also true that the earliest writing we have about the guy date from 50-100 years after he's out of the picture. Since we have no idea who was saying what about the man himself for the first 50 year or so, this could be just be a story, it could be an attempt by gentile followers to slag on Jewish followers, it could be an attempt by Jewish followers to slag on gentile followers, or perhaps the poor guy had an allergy to bacon.
I'm pretty much in the camp of the Bible being an unproduced script for a mockumentary.

What the? In the Kingdom of the Blind, the one-eyed man is burned as a heretic. This doesn't look like any Sufi practice I've ever heard about.

From what I read they don't cut their eyes out. They just pop them out of the sockets temporarily.

On a non-funny, non-weird note: I had a great class today on Ibn-Rushd's (Averroes') commentary on Aristotle's Rhetoric.

I can't be bothered to look for it, but have you guys seen the dude who tosses a Bible in the fire at a recent church-sponsered book burning? Guy's a legend.

Oh Fuck that with a plasma torch. "He said the wrong magic words, everything you've done ever since is wrong and not forgiven..." That's not how the Orbiting Teakettle works, children. It's a lot friendlier than that.
