When they say the promised land is 'flowing with milk and honey'...?

No insect problems. The honey's there to catch the flies ('cause everyone knows that's how you do it).

And how do they keep the milk fresh? Though, I suppose that's less of a problem there than, say, that Other Place.

(And the "Three Billy Goats Gruff"... that was a fairy tale, too.)

Milk and honey were both thought of as sweet, yummy things back in Bible times, as they are now too. So when God promised that his people would be blessed by being brought into the Promised Land, a land flowing with milk and honey, it meant that they would have a place where they would have pleasant surroundings and good food to eat.

If you're posting this "question" just to mock God's Word the Bible, well.. you've got yourself in a sticky situation. Much sticker than milk and honey. Mocking God, the Creator of the universe is not a wise thing to do.(Galatians 6:7)

When the Three Billy Goats Gruff wanted to get to the land of milk and honey, they had to deal with the ugly TROLL that was under the bridge. It seems we are in that same predicament today.

Where does milk come from? Cows. What do cows eat? Grass.

Where does honey come from? Bees. Where do the bees get their pollen? Flowers.

A land of milk and honey is therefore a place that has a lot of green grass and flowers. That is where I want to be. I'm tired of the concrete jungle.

When I was little I had a dream of a land of chocolate. Later it was in the Simpsons. Damn dream plagiarists.

It does seem as though a land of milk and honey would be far more trouble than it's worth though. Then again, what else can you expect from primitive men?

Diabetes and lactose intolerance don't exist when you're dead. As for the stickiness, if you bathe in the milk regularly it shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Milk and Honey was the last John Lennon Album Release. How clever~!!!

I'll go for the honey; Im lactose-intolerant.

If they knew how darn inconvenient it was to just have your milk start to flow, they'd have come up with a different description.

Seriously, it isn't fun to soak your shirt at Wal-Mart because someone else's kid is crying.

just in case your "not" being sarcastic- milk and honey is symbolic for wealth and substance.

edit: oh, okay...I can handle flippant.

Milk and honey is good for a soar throat ^.^
