Well it says that those that have Rh negative blood may have this "nephilium", although it goes on to state that not ALL of those with this blood type have "it"...good to know because I am Rh negative. I don't even know what this "nephilim" is either, but I guess I'd better look out for it ! LOL !
per Wikipedia...
'The Hebrew word נְפִילִים (nephilim) mean "fallen ones".(from the NIV study Bible publish by Zondervan) [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham_ibn_Ezra"]Abraham ibn Ezra[/ame] proposes that they were called this because men's hearts would fail at the sight of them. Some[[ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Avoid_weasel_words"]who?[/ame]] suggest that they were giants and when they fell, the ground shook, causing others to fall too.[[ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed"]citation needed[/ame]] Jean Leclerc and [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_of_Aquila"]Peter of Aquila[/ame] among others suggest that it is derived from the warlike nature of the Nephilim, comparing the usage of Naphal in Job 1:15 "And the Sabeans fell upon them" where Naphal means "to take in battle". Alternatively, [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_David_Luzzatto"]Shadal[/ame] understands nephilim as deriving from the Hebrew word פלא Pele which means wondrous.[1] Another possibility is that the term is a generic term for "giants" in general,[2] which is consistent with the [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Septuagint"]Septuagint[/ame] and [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vulgate"]Vulgate[/ame] translations of the word. Some expositors believe it may refer more to the ferocity and strength of the people who are referred to, rather than their physical height,[3][4] though in the Book of Numbers intentional stress on height is apparent, whether metaphorical or actual (see below on Anakim).'
Considering what mental midgets the A's and all associated with them are, A giant would be something to be proud of.
Seriously though Rh is named for rhesus monkeys. Some people have rhesus factor, those who are Rh - don't. If the A's are going to get all biblical, wouldn't it be the Rh- folks that are closer to God. The others clearly bred with monkeys at some point in evolution.
Can't wait until their Rh+ monster goes to trial. Thank god Caylee was taken from these folks.
