I've had something like that. It resulted in me becoming disillusioned with religion.
My science teacher once asked, "What caused the Grand Canyon? a) A river b) Erosion c) The Flood d) something else I can't remember"
To which I, of course, replied, B! EROSION!
And was marked wrong. That question, and the resulting 99% on the test, kept me from getting an 100% in the course that year. Apparently, "The Flood" was the right answer.
So, Noah lived by the Grand Canyon, apparently.
I was so pissed, in my fourth grade sort of way. I haven't been able to take religion seriously since.

wouldn't the flood have caused erosion anyway?
And wasn,t the grand canyon a result of tectonic movements?

Hell if I know. It was just the principle of it... that the run off from the Flood caused the Grand Canyon.
It wasn't even a parochial school, for christssake. It was a private, non-denominational school, and he had no place shoving his new-earth creationism in my face like that. I was SO pissed.

Spammich, the haversack and the bag of holding. Those items dissapeared. Because I put one in the other.... and that's what happens...

It was a stupid question to put on a test anyway... there are a lot of ways it could have happen and there's about six different theories for any natural thing like that... Earquake and tectonic plates are the best guess...

The grand canyon was created because Trey put the bag in the sack, and divided by zero.

Heh. The Captain Planet gag is now a classic in my class. It even spawned a crappy, Paint-made comic by yours truly. Here: www.deviantart.com/deviation/53662416/. And I get what you mean, only here in Mexico the sport is Soccer. XD I share your pain. Also, the Grand Canyon, according to this nice, lovely book I have in my lap, was created by the constant flow of the Colorado River and the subsequent erosion it produced. Yes, I'm nerd enough to investigate that. By the way, Trey, I've been meaning to ask, is the name Chtulu in any way familiar to you? Because it seems to me you hold a distant relation with His Lowness.

The bag could have been made by any particular cloth-worker, and enchanted by any wizard. There's really no way for me to know exactly who made it.
And the haversack, Why, Heward of course!! =D
