Huh… I always assumed “Dhal” was a name from the south Asian sub-continent.

“Dahl” -> Norwegian for “valley” (compare to German “thal” or English “dale”)
“Dal” -> Sanskrit for the verb “to split”. Used today to describe various Indian split-bean dishes.

Roald Dahl wasn’t just a children’s writer. He wrote adult stories also, such as Man From The South.

Is The Algorithm assuming that they used David Cameron style animal-based insulation solutions on Noah’s Ark?
