Tuna, cheese and jello simply don't belong together. 

Leviticus XII-3-5

What does "remain in her blood of purification for 66 days " mean?

What does "remain in her blood of purification for 66 days " mean?

I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you. 

But seriously ... this is just an example of Hebrew ritual impurity rituals. Childbirth, being a medically dangerous time (in the ancient world especially so) was associated with impurity and death as well as life. Meaning, that women were supposed to be kept segregated until they were ritually "purified" for a certain number of days after giving birth.

Why the different numbers of days for male versus female kids? I have no idea.

I thought it meant she got to sit on her blood stained things.

[Josephus]

I get the purity rituals thing, and why it was necessary. [a lot of that ancient Jewish stuff makes sense for purely "health and safety" reasons]...I just wish I knew what that specific thing means. I'm thinking she has to go to the mikvah daily for two months after giving birth?

For someone who clothes himself in such progressive garb, you sure come off as thoroughly regressive on occasion.

Commies are pretty conservative, really.

He is from South Carolina. Voicing an opinion to the left of "lets deport her" is radically progressive.

I wouldn't call Stalinism "progressive garb".
