What’s the most expensive book in the world? Well, a few years ago, billionaire Bill Gates paid 30 million for the Leonardo da Vinci Codex. That’s a manuscript from the early 1500’s, written in the master’s mysterious hand - he famously wrote backwards from right to left. A nice little volume to have in your personal library.

I believe we can see God’s sense of humor in His creation. Have you looked at a giraffe lately? How about an emu? Or a duck-billed platypus. These are not serious animals. It’s funny to imagine Adam trying to name animals like these and being overcome with laughter!
