David and the Cyclops
This is too good not to share. I don't have the exact words in front of me, but a freshman in my World History class wrote a description along these lines on a recent test:
"Michelangelo's David was a sculpture of the David in the Bible who defeated the giant cyclops." I guess the cyclops part was one of those things my Sunday School teacher overlooked in her lesson. It's too bad I missed that part, it kind of adds a nice touch to the story.

This is why Bible as Literature classes in public schools are such a great idea. I know a guy in Southern California who teaches English in a public high school. Last year he won some sort of national award for being an outstanding teacher. Anyway, I think he has been influential in bringing in Bible courses. I think it's great, because so much of history and the arts draws on the Bible, so if you don't know the Bible (like most of our grandparents' generation did), you're at a academic disadvantage.
Okay, I'll step off my soapbox. Funny story, Chad!
no wonder David only needed ONE stone, hahahahaa...
Chuckle!
haha!
That is so utterly priceless. You should submit it to some sort of test blooper thing...
Well, both stories DID involve shepherds....
