I've read somewhere (maybe here) that "camel" was a mistranslation of the (Greek / Aramaic?) word for "rope". Either way, there are some deluded revisionists @ Conservapedia.

According to Wikipedia: Some claim that "camel" is a Greek misprint; that kamilos (camel) was a misprint of kamêlos, meaning "rope" or "cable". That would resolve the mixed metaphor problem while still stating the impossibility for someone with worldly wealth to enter heaven.

Of course, that said, I've actually heard that even with that interpretation, it is apparently supposed to show not that it's impossible for a rich man to get into heaven, but that it's merely very hard.
