An Olde Crone Report 23 Sep 2005 22:41

Lot's wife was turned to a pillar of salt, cos she disobeyed the Lord and looked back to see the destruction of....erm...maybe Sodom and Gomorrah? There is a school of thought which says this actually is describing an Atomic Bomb!!!!And that she was turned into a pile of ash, rather than salt. Olde Crone

Lot , in the Bible, was the nephew of Abraham. Lot's wife was turned into a pillar of salt, but I've forgotten why! I have two Lot's on my tree. They were baptised as .....ummm, well, just ''Lot'' Merry

Lot could be a mans name as in the bible.

It could be Charlotte. I think Lot can also be a name in it's own right. Kath. x
