9 - I think a lot of the differences between Coptic and Roman Catholicism were mentioned earlier. It is one of the "orthodox" churches and I assume use the version of the creed that does not include the filioque. I had a number of Egyptian Coptic Christians as employees in Jersey City, NJ, and another one in a later assignment. He had a picture of his pope in his car (I think the pope was imprisoned at the time) and most of my other employees that saw it thought it was the Ayatollah Kouhmeini (sp).

One significant difference (not the one you are going for) is that worship services were 3 hours (or so) long, something that you don't tend to find in the Roman church.

1..The game has people going out into the world sort of like a scavenger hunt. Think about what sorts of laws may get broken.

7..SVC wants you to go to the movies, but that's an unlikely aid. Think about a declining skill in this keyboard age that would mitigate
against some to even have the capacity to create such a will.

12..A couple of you really want it to be Murrow...but no. The guy was D. E.

13..Rocket writes with best knowledge, BUT it's not algae, but duck___.

P.S. From the preceding Test #505, we can no longer report that our armada was heading toward N. Korea.
It's hanging around Singapore. The Donald says, "Ha ha, I fooled you".

[Rocket009]

13..Rocket writes with best knowledge, BUT it's not algae, but ___. Fungi? I was torn between the two.

 

[wire chief]

1..SVC did not realize the trespassers who returned repeatedly to steal his teething rings and teddy bears were Pokemon marauders.

2..With VAUC, JR & Pinot's help we have Iran, Pahlavi-free since '79. (You say you want a revolution. Well, you know
we don't want to change the world)

3..Fairview, called The Bomb by many a bar girl, is part of a sextet, gleeful about any explosions.

4..Gee...no, G. E. Credit to the J R. Quartet.

5..The pioneer black Dodger wore 42, as the whole world knows, even the densest BYers.

6..Fairview goes beyond the duty with a link. SVC is indicted by ASCAP for piracy.

7..Handwritten, as SVC provides.

8..We have a BYer who does the extraordinary, Dink reads.

9..SVC has good detail, which is why Egyptian mobs don't buy it, when he swears, '"I'm a Muslim. I'm a Muslim"

10..Simple name, why so much trouble with it--Gulan. He's the Lord of the Rings character who runs around searching
for "my precious". Remember? Israel was so impressed with him they named the Heights they wrested from Syria after him.

11..Good luck, Rod Carew. Pinot, Dink & JR send Best Wishes and ask, if you will autograph their bubble gum cards.

12..Douglas Edwards, then Walter.
