A little girl spoke to her teacher about whales.
The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it is a very large mammal, its throat is very small.
The little girl said, "But how can that be? Jonah was swallowed by a whale."
Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human. "It is physically impossible!" she said.
Undaunted, the little girl said, "Well, when I get to heaven I will ask Jonah."
To this, the teacher said, "What if Jonah went to hell?"
The little girl replied, "Then YOU ask him!"

=) if i were a whale i could eat a human! think proportionally, multiply how much food you can eat by however many times smaller you are than a whale and i'm sure it comes out to way more than a human  i dont get the one about leptons and assarius tho... is that supposed to also be some form of money somewhere? i mean, i get it, its like those mastercard commercials of old, but i was wonderin what leptons and assarius were |

I'm guessing that it is currency. Maybe the currency that they used back then? I'll try to find out.

A lepton is a small (no pun intended) family of sub-atomic particles - the electron, the muon and the tau and the associated neutrinos and anti-neutrinos... But I doubt that's what it means in this instance!! Lol... I believe it's more likely to be that they are indeed currencies - a lepton was a small copper coin, with 8 leptons making one assarius, which was the cost of two sparrows, according to Matthew 10:29... Or so I'm reliably informed anyway.... Here |

Ok, can you explain it to me?
A "farthing" is what?
Where does it say that a farthing is anything to do with an assarius?
Before it was translated or something?

hehe, i thought a lepton was an atomic particle but then i second guessed it when there was an assarius, which i didn' think was a subatomic particle, and that didn't make sense anyways because nobody buys stuff with subatomic particles, otherwise i'd might be rich =)

A farthing is quarter of a penny in old Brit money.
And the translation in my version of the Bible (New English) for Matthew 10:29 says "Are not sparrows two a penny"... Which means that a penny must equal a farthing, surely??
I think we can safely say that they're currencies, but that the equivalent value of them all has gotten lost over time!
EDIT: At the bottom of the page I linked in my first post, it says
