That has something to do with the fact that they have no sense of humor -- unless one counts exulting over a beheading, other mayhem, stuff like that.

Makes me wonder what they did at weddings in the old days. Scream "ALALALALALALALAH" and throw spears up into the air?

Exactly correct. Which also gives rise to the burkha. After you've seen one moslem girl spear catcher you really don't want to see another

Heh... the non-Semitic ancient Egyptians (the aristocracy) had a pretty good time most of the time. They messed around a lot before marriage, and were expected to be faithful after marriage, so the weddings may have been a nice mixture of celebration and wake, kinda like now. ;')
