_"Lower ye the landing gear!" "The landing gear be lowered."_ In [_The Ancient of Days: Deity or Manna Machine?_](http://home.fireplug.net/~rshand/streams/science/machine2.html), George Sassoon postulizes that the Israelite's Exodus manna from heaven really came from a machine powered by a small thermonuclear device. He uses biblical passages and an ancient Aramaic Jewish text (the _Kabbalah_) to reach his conclusion. Suprisingly, this is an interesting and entertaining read.
