I always wondered what he was writing. It seems to be important since Scripture states twice that he was writing on the ground. I had a very good friend who always thought that he was writing the names of the accusors who had also slept with this woman.

What I always used to wonder (before learning that this was a spurious passage in the gospel of John, http://www.bible.org/page.php?page_id=1316 http://jimmyakin.typepad.com/defensor_fidei/2006/08/the_woman_caugh.html

Oh, I love that, ops. LOL!
