Millennia before germ theory was proposed in the late 19th century, Leviticus 15 mandated hygiene laws that included bathing, washing of clothing, destruction of contaminated pottery and washing of hands.
In Matthew 15:2, Jesus then curbed compulsive hand-washing by explaining why it n no longer typically necessary (in a non-farming, non-medical context) with respect to man's digestive system.

I had no idea...

I'm serious - I was wondering what would happen if someone like Google chose to black out - people who use gmail for their work email (lots of nonprofits and schools do this these days) would be SOL for 24 hours...I wonder if there would be grounds to sue a company who says they will host your files/email/what-have-you and then denies you access to them for a reason which is not outage or maintenance related.

Can you sue someone for withholding a free service?  Serious question.

[garbon]

Yeah, what rights do you have to access to your info on that free service? I guess it would depend on the terms of agreement?

It depends on their T&C and (in common law) if one can construe any consideration. Under civil law system a contract is still binding even if one party offers no consideration.
