The OP title also has a typo that made me read it as "Most Americans think Joan of Ark married to OJ" which is also hilarious.

Ol' St. Joan can't catch a break, can she.


No-ah she cannot.

...would be in a whole lotta trouble.

The now-ex-husband of a friend of ours was a Methodist minister for a while. He's now an ex-minister as well - had to leave when he was caught having an affair with a congregation member.

True story - a man in his congregation did not approve of Spanish, French, or any other "foreign" languages being taught in American schools. His reason was, "If English was good enough for Jesus, it's good enough for me."

What can you even say to someone that woefully ignorant?

Montreal hero Leonard Cohen also wrote and sang Suzanne (takes you down to a place by the river).
This is a beautiful duet, though you might need listen to it several times before it becomes that to you.

Betty Bowers might have an irreverent clip about Noah, as she does with Moses.

Puzzled but undeterred, we used the information in the spreadsheet to calculate acceptance of the round Earth by age groups and found that only about 82.5 percent of millennials (as YouGov called 18–24-year-olds) agreed with “I have always believed the world is round.” That’s still dismayingly low, of course, but it’s not as dismayingly low as 66 percent. And those aged 25–34 turned out to fare a tad worse, with only about 81.8 percent agreeing.
