I understood from sitting for hours as a kid listening to priests give sermons at mass that the "eye of a needle" referred to in the bible statement was actually a narrow portal in the wall of the city of Jerusalem which was for pedestrians to pass through..... but not camels. On the other hand, if Rich had employed a blender or liquidizer I`m sure given enough time he would get the camel through the eye of even a sewing needle.
@Stewie4321 If you watch QI, you'd get a klaxon for saying that the eye of a needle was a gate :D Apparently there was no evidence that this was a gate, nor was there an evidence that camel ("gamla") was a mistranslation of rope ("gamta"). In any case it _was_ meant to be a sarcastic analogy.
Anyways great vid and I wish I was there in Melbourne to see this!
3:40 Whoa! Camels actually make that noise! :O
