to see if they could get along ...

Mark Twain used to say that he once tried an experiment of putting a dog and cat in a cage together. After some adjustments, they got along.
So he added a bird, a pig and goat. Again after some initial adjustments, they got along.
Then he put in a Baptist, Presbyterian, Lutheran and Catholic, and within minutes there was not a living thing left.

~ Quoted in Phillip Yancey's What's So Amazing About Grace?,
Zondervan Publishing, Grand Rapids, Mich., 1997, p. 33.
