A friend of mine was arguing that money (in the form of bonuses) motivates the workforce. My argument was that money is a "demotivator".

The donkey is non-white and probably the only authentic one in the whole scene.
Camels may have been in and around Judea at the time, but they certainly wouldn't have been transporting three fictional kings. As for the sheep, what are they supposed to graze on?

It would appear that most of the crimes listed in Leviticus are punishable by death, including arguing with your parents. I would suggest that is a bit harsh for Mark Guehi, perhaps a 2 match ban might be more appropriate?
