No reason to apologize. I was just having some fun. The holiday celebrates the Exodus from Egypt. Part of Passover has to do with the plagues, the Angel of Death passing over the houses of the Hebrews being the reason for the name of the holiday. Pharoah's army was destroyed by the Red Sea returning to its natural state, and we have been stuck eating Matzoh for 5000+ years because they didn't have time for the bread to rise when being pursued by the army..
