"Jacob's ladder.
(a) (Bot.) A perennial herb of the genus Polemonium (P.
c[oe]ruleum), having corymbs of drooping flowers, usually
blue. Gray.
(b) (Naut.) A rope ladder, with wooden steps, for going
aloft. --R. H. Dana, Jr.
(c) (Naut.) A succession of short cracks in a defective spar."

a) could be lovely in the kitchen garden, though one wonders what flavours and aroma it would produce, having never experienced this particular herb ... to my knowledge anyway.

b)anything 'for going aloft' must be a good thing.

c) sounds like it would make a great climbing experience for those armed with appropriate rockclimbing gear. Climbing without the gear is also possible, but not recommended. Trust me.

No she doesn't. She chose that picture at random.

I was just talking about one of these things the other day. You could stick a penny between one of the straps and make it "disappear".

Anyone named Jacob (or Jakob) who owns any manner of ladder has such a thing - even if it is a ladder in his stockings.

Perhaps we should ask our venerated founder Jacob Wu (né Beardsley) to share his expertise on this topic?

Or perhaps we should get a life.

Bit late for that now though.

Rex Speaks the truth. our only option in this matter would be the former.

Rex check your email every once and a while. if you do, that is good.

Jacob's Ladder refers to a ladder to heaven described in the Book of Genesis (28:11-19) which the biblical patriarch Jacob envisioned during his flight from his brother Esau:

Jacob left Beersheba, and went toward Haran. And he came to the place and stayed there that night, because the sun had set. Taking one of the stones of the place, he put it under his head and lay down in that place to sleep. And he dreamed that there was a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven; and behold, the angels of God were ascending and descending on it! And behold, the LORD stood above it [or "beside him"] and said, "I am the LORD, the God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac; the land on which you lie I will give to you and to your descendants; and your descendants shall be like the dust of the earth, and you shall spread abroad to the west and to the east and to the north and to the south; and by you and your descendants shall all the families of the earth bless themselves. Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land; for I will not leave you until I have done that of which I have spoken to you." Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, "Surely the LORD is in this place; and I did not know it." And he was afraid, and said, "How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven."
