I wondered where this proverb came from. Here's a bit of info taken from Yahoo:
"The camel was, of course a familiar, important animal in the Arab world. Its durability represented strength, but its existence as a living creature subjected it to the laws of physical reality. The camel therefore made a useful symbol of something strong but limited. That symbolism lay behind an Arab proverb about a camel that, despite its strength, was finally loaded to the point where it could not move."
Apparently I'm a camel.
WTF will be the straw?
