33) A tent-peg. At various times in the past, “military surplus” stores have sold foreign bayonets as “tent pegs”. They don’t work very well.

34) Samson.

35) I have no idea.

36) A lot ...

[No name given]

Inspiring and exquisite!

[Red Badger]

Sisera: What for dinner?

Jael: Stake.

Sisera had a splitting headache...............

[etabeta]

These are stories that unleash the imagination and creativity of an artist. Great paintings. Norman Rockwell created his Samson for Cecil DeMille for the movie Samson and Delilah.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Impressed you knew Samson was bar Manoah.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Goody.

[Hebrews 11:6]

He got her point>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

[NorthMountain]

Memory is a strange and sometimes fickle thing ... answering these quiz questions is reminding me of how much so.

[Hebrews 11:6]

It’s still the only biblical Rockwell I have encountered.

[NorthMountain]

According to legend/myth, one kills a vampire by driving a stake through its heart.

I wonder if this event formed some sort of inspiration for that bit of lore?

[Hebrews 11:6]

You are very brave, and you’re doing great!

[Red Badger]

Note that she fed him milk.

That stuff will kill ya!..................

[Hebrews 11:6]

Then why did your mother work as a milker?!

[Red Badger]

She didn’t drink the stuff!..................

[spankalib]

"Stake" *groan* then LOL!

...lest we forget my bgf, Artemisia...

[Red Badger]

And now you know why it’s not ‘kosher’ to serve beef with dairy products!...................

[Hebrews 11:6]

Medical intervention, John.

[JewishRighter]

Yael had him pegged.
