My favorite kind of Bible trivia - questions that don't actually require Bible knowledge

[clt013]

Many paths to a score of zero (10 singletons + bonuses of -10) remain as there are still quite a few unused answers.

[clt013]

A pre-weekend bump - still open for entries through Monday night.

[clt013]

The original deadline was going to be tonight, but since I am taking a "day of rest" tomorrow and won't get around to scoring, I will now accept answers until 8 AM CDT on Wednesday.

Crap. I didn't submit my entry because of a clarification question I sent, then forgot to submit my bloody form afterwards. Oh well, I'd've sheeped or darn-near close to done so through two.

Now if the answer I was giving for #3 is anywhere close to sheeping, I'll eat my cowboy hat.
