Damnit guys, we thought we were coming up with weird religious stuff, but real people have beat us yet again :( [quote=Guildopedia]In one variant of the practice of Kapparot, the item to be donated to charity is a rooster. In this case, the rooster would be swung overhead while still alive. After the Kapparot ritual is concluded, the rooster would be treated as a normal kosher poultry product, i.e., it would be slaughtered according to the laws of shechita. It would then be given to charity, for consumption at the pre-Yom Kippur meal. In modern times, this variant of the ritual is performed with a rooster for men, and a hen for women.[/quote] Why did none of you come up with this? We could have had hain or Treeminds or even Mahd men swinging chickens round their heads T-T but now we can't 'cause we'd be robbing Jews. And we don't do robbery in Divinus >.> never ever ever. *inconspicuously adds some rather fishy stuff to a post in preparation* [hider=When you stop laughing, you will see its tremendous beauty - just look at that pure dedication, that sombre austerity.

I would totally do it - 'cause at least it all goes to a good cause in the end. Not like those damn Spaniards and their tomatoes. *tuts gravely*[/sub]
