I've always wondered why it's called the "Camelizer." But today it struck me that it might have to do with the "hump" that occurs on a graph when the price of a product goes up for a long period of time. This hump apparently inspired someone, who was influential in the add-on naming process, to think of a camel. Thus, the Camelizer was born...or programmed. I guess it depends on your attitude towards programming and Creationism in general.

Which got me thinking...
Remember that time Rebecca drew water for a dude and his 10 camels?
"And she hasted, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again unto the well to draw water, and drew for all his camels" (Genesis 24:20).
Seriously. Who does that? Camels can drink anywhere from 26-40 gallons of water in one sitting. So Rebecca could have drawn about 400 gallons of water on that occasion. Yikes!
Meanwhile, Abraham's servant was just chillin' and watching her draw water. So instead of just being "very fair to look upon," Rebecca must have also been RIPPED and probably able to kick some ace (the Mormon equivalent of @$$), making her the Old Testament Angelina Jolie--aka the modern Salt of the earth.
Yeah. I could have said Rebecca was the Old Testament Jennifer Garner or Hilary Swank. But they just haven't been in as many action movies. Plus the fact that Hilary Swank also acts on a regular basis seriously reduces our ability to pigeonhole her into an action role for purposes of humor. On top of that, none of them were in Salt, reducing our ability to use them in our multi-layered Salt of the earth reference.
That being said. I'm sure that the Bible and the other Standard Works are rife with strong female characters. It's a shame we don't have much information about them though.
