Redemption trivia?!?

So fun little tidbit...

We all know that Redemption can help improve your Biblical knowledge, but the other day I discovered it has even more usefulness in that regard.

At a weekly trivia night I attend at a local restaurant here in the Twin Cities, one of the questions this past Monday was "an artist noted for his landscape paintings whose first three names were Joseph Mallord William--what was his last name?"

I recognized the initials from the discussion Master Q started, and although I wasn't 100% positive I remembered right, I did correctly get the answer of "Turner."   8)

Unfortunately my team still fell one point short of placing in the top 3...  :(

Nice.

In the youth/college and career group I used to attend, for many years I went completely undefeated in Bible Trivia, the only time where I tied for first during that time was when I had someone else on my team who I listen to for one question I wasn't entirely sure on, but my guess would have been right and the person who tied with me also played Redemption.

I've also had people be surprised at my ability to know stuff from the Bible, including people who were probably twice my age and I would have expected them to have studied the Bible far more than me. And while this can't entirely be attributed to Redemption, because I have a similar ability when it comes to game rules, science and history, so I assume it's a talent of mine, but Redemption has certainly helped me remember obscure things in the Bible, or at the very least give me a structure to put more information on (if that makes any sense).

It helps that some lesser known bible characters are actually really good. Lets you know lots of people others may not. lol

My son was competing in Bible trivia at my school during chapel, and he was the only one that knew the names of Goliath's brothers. ;-)

Interesting one came up today, actually:  "What weapon did David use to kill Goliath?"

Probably Goliath's Sword, although if I'm remembering correctly the story is fairly vague as to whether the sling actually killed him.
