Damn, that's the funniest thing I've heard in a long time.

I have, somewhere in the depths of my hard drive, a document similar to this one in which the Ten Commandments have been updated for the times.

It shows them, chiseled onto stone tablets as usual, with one exception. The familiar, "Thou Shalt Not" has been replaced with the applicable sections of the US Code, complete with references.

It's sad that this "updated" version, which codifies ALL of the Commandments in different words, is completely permissible in courtrooms, classrooms and most anyplace else, but the archaic wording version is not only banned, but villified.

Sometimes, I think I'll never understand politics, religion and law.
