What current religious practice continuously observed - generation to generation, without a break - is the oldest in the world?
(No cheating with Google.) |

Good guess. Did you know that a big reason Jews didn't succumb to the Black Plague (in numbers proportionate to their population) is because they washed their hands before eating? (Of course, bigots blamed Jews and said they caused the Plague, but that's another topic.) |
