Random Thursday

Well with the holiday gone, I've now moved on to new Random factoids! Basically we're returning once again to the book That's a Fact Jack: A Collection of Utterly Useless Information [Updated] by Harry Bright and Jakob Anser! It's been awhile since we last visited! And can you believe I started using this book this year and we still aren't halfway through! That's what's so great about this meme of mine. You can interrupt themed posts for other themes and whatnot! But I'm gabbering! Let's move on!

"In the Gospel of Judas, which surfaced 1,700 years after it was lost, Jesus asks Judas as his closest friend to give him over to authorities, telling Judas he will 'exceed' the other disciples by doing so."

I sooo don't remember learning at Sunday school! LOL!

"Voltaire, the French philosopher, novelist, and ardent atheist, once held up the Bible and proclaimed, 'In 100 years this book will be forgotten, eliminated.' Less than 50 years after Voltaire's death, the Geneva Bible Society bought the house he grew up in--in order to produce and distribute Bibles."

HAHA!! That's a good one! The earliest version of "SUCK IT!" I'd say! LOL!
