Weird Wide Web
Some of the crazy internet antics
Have you ever seen anything stranger than this! I have made refrence to many of the weird things I have come across in my travels through cyber space.
Email Hoxes
I was just sent by two friends this email and they didn't realise it was a well known hoax. I do wish people would do a quick search to see if what they about to tell people is true.

Find the 33 books of the Bible
The job of digging out the names of 33 books of the Bible hidden in this story should be easy to numbers of you, but it will be a most fascinating search. To tell the truth, it's a lulu. Kept me looking so hard for the facts that I missed the revelation. (I was in a jam, especially since the names were not capitalized.) John and his friends had a picnic. Hanna, recently from Arkansas, brought the banjo, Ellen had the harmonica, and cousin Eugene, sister Diane, and Bonnie brought gumdrops, alms, and pop. Bonnie tossed her shag gaily while Hanna hummed a tune about her pet Cincinnati moth, Yvette. "I like this mat, the way you laid it down, Diane." praised Bonnie. "It's like a graph!" (I, lemonade in hand, thought "Diane, just hope termites don't come!") Nearby was a pasture, and the group saw a big letter "J" on a horse that was limping. Now, Eugene always spoke like a pro. (Verbs were no problem to him.) "Those are abnormal Achilles heels," he proclaimed. "I know that from my horse training in Judea and Jordan. I eliminated other conclusions." How is the search coming? Don't get tired from answering. Yes, there will be some easy, (here is one: Samuel), and others hard to judge. So I admit, it usually causes loud lamentations. One lady says she brews coffee while searching.

Find 30 books of the bible
There are thirty books of the Bible in this paragraph. Can you find them? This is a most remarkable puzzle. It was found by a gentleman in an airplane seat pocket, on a flight from Los Angeles to Honolulu, keeping him occupied for hours. He enjoyed it so much, he passed it on to some friends. One friend from Illinois worked on this while fishing from his john boat. Another friend studied it while playing his banjo. Elaine Taylor, a columnist friend, was so intrigued by it she mentioned it in her weekly newspaper column. Another friend judges the job of solving this puzzle so involving, she brews a cup of tea to help her nerves. There will be some names that are really easy to spot. That's a fact. Some people, however, will soon find themselves in a jam, especially since the book names are not necessarily capitalized. Truthfully, from answers we get, we are forced to admit it usually takes a minister or scholar to see some of them at the worst. Research has shown that something in our genes is responsible for the difficulty we have in seeing the books in this paragraph. During a recent fund raising event, which featured this puzzle, the Alpha Delta Phi lemonade booth set a new sales record. The local paper, The Chronicle, surveyed over 200 patrons who reported that this puzzle was one of the most difficult they had ever seen. As Daniel Humana humbly puts it, "the books are all right here in plain view hidden from sight." Those able to find all of them will hear great lamentations from those who have to be shown. One revelation that may help is that books like Timothy and Samuel may occur without their numbers. Also, keep in mind, that punctuation and spaces in the middle are normal. A chipper attitude will help you compete really well against those who claim to know the answers. Remember, there is no need for a mad exodus. There really are 30 books of the Bible lurking somewhere in this paragraph waiting to be found.
