I just learned what was done with Haman's body after he was executed`

[xiphias]

They ate him.

It's right in the Bible: Exodus 16:35

וּבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל, אָכְלוּ אֶת-הַמָּן

U-vinei Yisrael ochlu et Haman.

U-Vinei (And the children) Yisrael (of Israel) Ochlu (they ate) et (a not-really-a-word that says that the next word is the direct object of the sentence) Haman.

Everyone knows that this is how you gain the strength of your foe. (This puts a whole new light on Hamen Tashen. Ohhhhh...and worse I recently read Survivor Type....

Well, I guess that explains why he has a pastry named after him.

Eek, I hope that's a metaphor for something...

Hmm, I wonder what kind of side dish goes well evil grand vizier?

Haman on rye, hold the manna?

[goljerp]

well, why did you think they called hamentashen "Hamen's ears" in Israel? :-)

So, sadly, I wonder how he was served... Green eggs and Haman? At least I hope they remembered to consider including fava beans.

This puts another meaning to Denny's Moon Over My Haman (Hammy.)
