We often think cartoon characters or movie monsters come from someone's creative imagination, but clearly there is nothing new under the sun. I bet you could trace many of them back to some odd-looking creature like these. Peace, Linda

Sorry, but a ebook version is just not the same! But thanks for the link. It's a nice consolation prize for those of us who probably won't win the print version. :) Peace, Linda

That is a great site. I read the postings there regularly but had not run across this particular post. It is very good advice. Thanks for sharing it. Peace, Linda

Though you are technically correct on #10, it seems like you are splitting hairs, since from a strictly cause and effect perspective, if Adam and Eve had not eaten the fruit (I almost wrote apple - another misconception - yikes) then they would not have been expelled from the garden.

On #7, another verse that is used to support the rapture is 1 Thessalonians 4:17, "After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever." Though there is much debate about whether the rapture will indeed occur before the second coming, and this verse seems to suggest that believers being "caught up" will occur at the second coming, and not before.

All of the others I knew the right answer, or at least did not believe the misconception. This is a good list for those who get their Biblical information second hand and have never actually read the book itself. I suspect this might include many of your readers, so this was an great list!

By the way, I'd LOVE to win that Bible. :) Peace and Merry Christmas, Linda

Nice list! Regarding #9, a U.S. Supreme Court case does not "override" the U.S. Constitution. Rather, the Court would interpret the Constitution in the case. Although I didn't go look up the case (since you didn't give a cite and I don't really have time for that), I would suspect that what the Court determined is that although the activity that was the basis for the criminal trials or convictions was the same, the laws that were violated were different (one being state and the other federal) so the person was not actually convicted twice of violating the same criminal statute.

I love Johnny Cash! This was a good list. Narrowing it down to 10 would be almost impossible for me, so the fact that some great ones were left out is understandable. Some of my favorites that you left off are "Rock Island Line," "Cry, Cry, Cry," and "Redemption Song." The lastest release from American Recordings - "Ain't No Grave" - has some great songs on it as well.

Here's a controversial story about the current World Cup in South Africa that probably won't make your next list, but it should. And here's another account of this disgraceful story we'd all like to turn a blind eye to.

Our dog cornered an opossum once, and it played dead. When we came upon the scene we thought our dog had killed it, so my husband put it in the garbage can. It really did seem dead! But the next morning the lid was off the can and the opossum was gone.
