Quotation of the Day for September 19, 2014"A rib has no particular potency nor is it associated mythologically or symbolically with any human generative act. Needless to say, the penis has always been associated with generation, in practice, in mythology, and in the popular imagination. Therefore, the literal, metaphorical, and euphemistic use of the word tzela make the baculum a good candidate for the singular bone taken from Adam to generate Eve." - Scott F. Gilbert and Ziony Zevit, writing in the American Journal of Medical Genetics, offering an alternative interpretation of the Biblical account of the creation of Eve.
