The Rules
Posts must be:

Eye of the needle was a very narrow gate in ( I think) Jerusalem, through which goods had to pass because of some rule against bringing too much to market and establishing a monopoly.
Source: probably read it on the internet somewhere
Edit: yeah totally wrong I get it
That's not really substantiated by any evidence. It's much more likely that the Aramaic word for "heavy rope" was mistranslated as "camel".
That also doesn't sound unlikely, given humanity's track record
Last time I traced that down (15 years ago), there was a midevil town that referred to their gate as the eye of the needed. However midevil is more than 1000 years after the passage in question. It was in Europe, not Jerusalem. Maybe someone cares enough to research and provide a citation.
Medieval is the word you're looking for. Not trying to argue anything, just thought you might like the correct spelling.
