But seeing as how that was the point of the list, well done. Still don't think I'll see any them, though, because that's just not my style.

All of the information is good, but there's some random/inconsistent capitalization which is distracting. Other than that a good read. Thanks!

All you have to do is indoctrinate all of your children and grandchildren with this new holy writ and it will last forever. And Listverse will never start any wars like the previous religions have done because all believers are/will be rational people and all non-believers are/will be too simple to realize that there is such a possiblity. :P Wed, 22 Dec 2010 08:48:07 +0000 http://listverse.com/2010/12/22/15-extremely-embarrassing-science-predictions#IDComment117391168 http://listverse.com/2010/12/17/10-biblical-facts-that-everyone-gets-wrong#IDComment116483978 Of course there are more than just ten comandments, but THE Ten Commandments refer to the ones given that Moses brought down off theMount Sinai, had engraved onto tablets and placed inside the ark of the covenant. (See Exodous 20, Deuteronomy 31, and 1 (or 3 depending on version) Kings 8.)

Don't have a source for that. But even while I agree that Bible doesn't name the fruit, I doubt that Milton came up with the apple on his own. "Apple" used to be commonly used to denote a fruit in general also. Hence the pineapple--a fruit with spines--spiney apple--pineapple. It could be in that sense that Milton used the word and the language has just changed between his time and ours.

I knew it was in there somewhere but couldn't remember just where. It's one of those things that 14-16 year-olds find to be extremely important/amusing in an early morning bible class.

(I was in high school at the time.) Can't say that every section filled me full of the light of inspiration, but it gives a good reference for more specific study if you want to go back to it later.

It's apretty good, interesting read. Sorry that I can't remember the author's name at the moment.

I am conditionaly ambitextrious. Normally, I am right-hand dominate but still able to use my left. When I become excited/upset/stressed, that switches and I become left dominate. During one really bad year, it switched so completely that the only thing I could do with my right hand was to write on the board. Got out of that situation and within two weeks was back to using my right hand again. Now I can choose either hand and not have it be a big deal.

Ranch dressing is truely an abomination to any even half-classed palate. It at least deserves great vexation towards those who use it as an all-purpose condiment for everything from fries and pizza to carrots and pretzels. Next you'll have a Utahn extolling frysauce. Where, oh where, is this world headed under such leadership. ;-) Wed, 1 Sep 2010 17:08:18 +0000 http://listverse.com/2010/09/01/top-10-greatest-us-presidential-acts#IDComment96433441 http://listverse.com/2010/09/01/top-10-greatest-us-presidential-acts#IDComment96431465 Good list, but I'm a little unsure about #9. Yes, the Louisana Purchase was a great boon to the growth of the country, but, as I recall, Jefferson was very reluctant about and did not seek out Napoleon but had Napoleon seek him out to make the sale. Jefferson was leery because the Consitution didn't have any provisions on purchasing additional territory. Napoleon was looking for a way to unload land that he couldn't afford at the time (no time or money because of problems at home). The US was there and why wouldn't they be interested in expanding themselves. Or so went the Napoleonic logic as I've heard it. Please, anyone correct me if I'm wrong.

He explained the situation of a country and then gave us three platforms to vote for. Only after we voted did he tell us that the country was Germany in the 1930s and the platforms were Hitler's and his competiters. We elected Hitler by one vote. At that time, my teacher had been doing this for about 7 years with 5 classes a year. Only 2 or 3 had NOT elected Hitler and it usually was not a close race either.
