speaking of, are armadillos kosher to eat?
My coworkers see me as some sort of bottomless pit f information and since I
am the only one who knows anything about keeping kosher (which admittedly is
very little) they ask me!

afaik, no, armadillos are not kosher. baseline is cloven hooves and a
ruminant stomach, both of which are absent in the armadillo. (It is a
mammal, right?)

Actually, I don't think the ruminant STOMACH is the criterion, just that
the animal swallows the food and brings it up again and eats it again. I
don't know if there are too many animals like that. I know of only one,
the rabbit, and that's not kosher because it doesn't have cloven hooves.

Point taken. Been a while since I studied the laws of kashrut.

I didn't know that rabbits are ruminants, mammals with stomachs of
four chambers or rumen. Cows are and I believe that goats and lambs
are as well and so are camels and llamas.

Once again: rabbits are not ruminants per se, because they have more or
less a normal stomach. they do not have four stomachs, to the best of my
knowledge. However, they DO regurgitate their food and eat it again. The
Bible does NOT call them ruminants; it says that they "bring up their
food." Which they do. I have seen my own pet rabbit do this on occasion.
(Okay, actually, it's my KIDS' pet rabbit, but never mind.)

The Bible says that since the rabbit brings up its food, but does not
have cloven hooves, it is not kosher.

Many people have tried to find fault with the Bible because the rabbit
is not a ruminant, and they insist that the Bible says that the rabbit
is a ruminant. However, that's nothing more than believing what they
WANT to believe. The Bible does not use a word that means "ruminant."
The Bible uses the phrase "maaleh gairah." Maaleh means "brings up."
Gairah means something that has been agitated, or chewed up.

So again: the rabbit is not a ruminant. But it DOES bring up its food.
