- From the Houston Post, 31 December, in L. M. Boyd's "Informed
- Source" column:
-
-
- The ancient Babylonians decreed the death penalty for anyone
- convicted of selling bad beer.
-
-
- Maybe we need to examine Babylonian law more carefully -- they
- might have had some others that we could use!
-
- The source may be informed, but the nature of many of the items
- therein causes me to suspect its reliability. Anybody know if this one
- is true?
