JOAN OF ARK....From an LA Times op-ed about religious ignorance in America:According to a 1997 poll, only one out of three U.S. citizens is able to name the most basic of Christian texts, the four Gospels, and 12% think Noah's wife was Joan of Arc.
It took me a minute to get the Joan of Arc thing, but I was definitely giggling when I figured it out.
