Tell me more about the treasures of the hail, Jaf. I know it enriches roofing contractors and dent-repair guys, but what other treasures hath hail? Yes, it is made of concentric shells, but Job could readily have seen that for himself.

"The Christian church, in its attitude toward science, shows the mind of a more or less enlightened man of the Thirteenth Century. It no longer believes that the earth is flat, but it is still convinced that prayer can cure after medicine fails." H L Mencken
