Millstones are used to kill people several times in the Old Testament, although no actual drownings as far as I know - more your basic dropping of the millstone onto someone's head. <br /><br />A Google image search of donkey millstone yields a number of photos of, unsurprisingly, donkeys and millstones, and gives an idea of the potential size of such things... some do look a little as though you could fit your head through them.The Antipodeannoreply@blogger.com
