Comments on Tweet Your Prayers To Jerusalem's Western Wall
This unusual site will accept your tweets and pass them on; it's an electronic extension of a practice that dates back hundreds of years. (Read

| "Yeah, those guys just keep finding ways to get more money." (Sabre Runner 7/24/2009 5:18:09 AM) |
| "Great for those of us who can't afford to go.

Since it was cheaper to replace the Monk than to repair it, the Monk was cast out in the wilderness to believe whatever it liked.
