"Shelo sam helkenu kahem..."


Today I learned that Israel has its own plug, unique among the nations of the earth. I can only assume this was the realization of Herzl's vision that the Judenstat would invent a new system of electricity, ever so slightly different from, and superior to, that of the European nations, inspired by the design communicated by God to Moses on Sinai: "And thou shalt make thee a plug basically like the European plug, and with pretty much the same voltage. With prongs slanted outward shalt thou fashion it, like the face of an alien. Take care that ye not fashion it with prongs slanted inward, like that of the Australians, whom I shall deliver into your hand, as I swore to your fathers."
