Have you ever heard the ranting of preachers who claim that the word Xmas is an attempt by modern-day atheists to remove the word "Christ" from Christmas? Some others believe that the X is a sign of the cross. Neither is correct. Actually, "Xmas" is almost as old as "Christmas." The X is actually a throwback to the Greek letter "Chi," part of Chi-Rho, the symbol of Christ. Thus, Xians is a legitimate word for Christians. "Xmas" has been used for centuries as a very respectful term.
This rumor states that PBS-TV's favorite "Sesame Street" character, Ernie, was slated for a gruesome death. The rumors included car accidents, bus hits, AIDS, and leukemia. Since Muppet creator Jim Henson's death, rumors that characters for which he provided the voice would be eliminated have abounded. To the contrary: Ernie is not going to be killed off, nor will his friend Bert. The AIDS rumor started when some thought that Ernie and Bert were gay. I mean, come on!!! They're puppets!
In this rumor, NASA scientists were attempting to calculate the age of the universe and had it down to the day, but for some reason they were missing a 24-hour period. A Christian realized that this must be the day described in the Old Testament when God stopped the Earth's rotation. The story references Harold Hill, who worked with NASA during this dilemma. Although Mr. Hill is real enough, the story is not. It actually has its origin in 1936 in a book by Harry Rimmer called "The Harmony of Science and Scripture." Really, the story that is told cannot possibly be true. It would be like asking someone what time a stopped clock stopped, including the date and time. It's just not possible.
In Oxford, Ohio women are forbidden from disrobing while standing in front of a man's picture.
In Pennsylvania, a motorist must stop every mile while driving along a country road, send up a rocket signal, and wait ten minutes for any livestock to clear the road. Then and only then may he continue another mile
The grand state of Texas is notable for many fine attractions and interesting people. The Alamo is in Texas; our next President is From Texas; and geographically Texas is the largest state except for Alaska. It's also famous for some torrential rains and hurricanes. Unfortunately, on June 5, 2000 in Parker Country, it was also famous for losing a brave young 26-year-old male who had gone into a spillway to convince his wife that it was OK to cross. It was not safe to cross. Men, listen to your wives!
