AZ probably thinks the burning bush had psychedelic berries on it.
That would explain a lot. Three tablets, golden calf, the abyss that swallows the sinners. But 40 days and 40 nights is a bit long to exist solely on domestic berries, enhanced or not. The gastro-intestinal issues would have been ... well ... not happy, especially when you're trying to hurry carving those three tablets before the golden calf gets up and walks everyone back to Egypt. I don't think that's right. I call bullshit! No funny berries in the hot bush.
