Jesus is also accidentally toppling the Empire State Buidling. Satan makes a guest appearance. HOW IS THIS NOT AWESOME? -CV)

I don't think she ever quite forgave me for the hysterics I had that day ... - germankitty

And there you have it. A quiz full of foolery, but not on April Fools, when we said full because it sounds like fool, and then did fool later, because that's all fooling, and... uh, yeah.

Hope you all had a Happy Easter/Passover/Whatever if you celebrated, and if not, then hope you had a great weekend! And a great upcoming April! Wherein there will be showers! And then Mayflowers! And then Pilgrims! OH NOEZ!

Rock On!
