  > Finding out exactly where in the past a proverb emerged is a tough task, akin to looking for a needle not just in a haystack Most people are unaware that the needle in question is a six foot iron pole used to pin the haystack together when built - not the sewing needle you see depicted in the stock photos when you try and find an image of one.

    You mean the central pole around which hay is built in stacks?
