Probably off topic, but a recent little story from out here in Silly Con Valley. Recently, a Rabbi, representing a lot of orthodox Jews in Palo Alto, made a request to the City Council. Permission to create a symbolic boundary around the city, by stringing coloured ribbons between utility polls, without any expense to the city, at those places where a natural boundary, such as a freeway sound wall, doesn't exist already.

Why? Because the laws of Moses tells the Jews not to stir out of the walls of their house on the Sabbath (Saturday). By creating a wall around the city, the orthodox Rabbi's can proclaim the city to be an extended house, and then the orthodox Jews can move about in the city during Sabbath. Neat, huh?

I think the request was approved.
