Prayer for Virginia Tech tragedy

Please pray specifically for the students and the family of those involved in the tragedy at Virgina Tech yesterday.

In varying degrees, we are all affected by this kind of evil. May the Lord's goodness, protection, and mercy be revealed and sought during this time.

Even though it is heartbreaking to witness such pain and suffering, faith in Jesus Christ is the hope beyond the things of this world and our only sure and lasting comfort.

Fools?

A couple weeks back I fell for an April Fool's day prank. Actually, the prank was on April 2nd, but it still worked and got me hook, line and sinker. I got a kick out of it, thanks Ryan.

Anyways, The Thinking Blog has a post of the Top Ten April Fools Pranks of 2007. Pretty funny stuff, you should check it out. If you do not have time to look at all of them, at least watch the #1 video.

Now, after you watch the #1 video, I would like know if you think it is a fair characterization of Americans and what they know of the world around them. Why or why not?

Also answer this: would a common person in other countries have a correct and ready answer for some of the same info about the different states here in America?
