Feet of mud always reminds me of foot of clay, too.> Gee, I hope I'm not being anal here, but I do feel compelled to mention that Pandora is not a figure from the Bible. She is the girl who could not control her curiosity, and unleashed all sorts of grief upon the world by opening a box she was forbidden to touch. It is a Greek myth. Of course there *is* all the other biblical imagery at work in the song, like the camel thing you mentioned, so your point is well taken. -- Yaye Kazu "Everybody should be able to make some music - it's the cosmic dance!" -- Harold & Maude
