From Questions and Answers of Isho bar Nun, an answer that I found particularly charming:

‘Question: Did God create the primordial Natures in the night or in the day-time?

‘Answer: He created both in the night and in the day-time; and in these at their beginning… But there are [expositors] who have said that He created the wild beasts, the cattle and the creeping things of the earth at the beginning of Friday night. And they have presented a plausible argument, [based] on the fact that the wild beasts and the creeping things of the earth see better at night. However, everyone agrees that man was created at the beginning of the daytime of the Friday.’
