That's the spice. The description I was given specified a sort of heavenly roundtable discussion with some other deities.

The closest to what you're describing that I can think of is the bit in Genesis where God says "Let us make man in our own image". Most people interpret that as either being a royal 'We', or that He'd already created angels and used them as a planning committee.

But they can eat giraffes. If they can figure out where on the neck to perform the shechitah. And reach it. And generally restrain the animal, which is pretty big.

I didn't think you didn't know it. It's just interesting when I see people propose trichinosis as the justification for a dietary law that also rules out camels.

Reminds me of a conversation that I had with a friend a while back in which he asked me why god banned wearing clothing of mixed cloth (interpretted in Judaism as referring to a combination of wool and linen). I told him that the only known reason was 'Because God said so'. He countered that all biblical laws had a reason; for instance, banning pigs was due to trichinosis, so I explained that that was a human-interpreted explanation coming after the fact. Most of the laws in the bible aren't explained. They're just 'Because God said so'.
