FUN TRIVIA: How Tall was Goliath?
0% - 7 Feet
25% - 8 Feet
75% - Over 9 Feet
1 Samuel 17:4 "And there went out a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span." (KJV)
1 Cubit = 18 inches
6 Cubits = 108 inches => 9 Feet
Christian Scholars have argued that a span is half the measurement of a Cubit, so Goliath would have been 9 Feet, 9 Inches Tall!

FUN TRIVIA - Poll Results
The First Bird Noah Sent Out from the Ark?
66% - Dove
33% - Raven
0% - Sparrow
0% - Eagle
The correct answer is 'Raven'. In Genesis 8, starting in verse 6: "After forty days Noah opened the window he had made in the ark 7 and sent out a raven, and it kept flying back and forth until the water had dried up from the earth. 8 Then he sent out a dove..." (NIV)
This one was a bit tricky. Speaking for myself- as a kid in Sunday school, I was taught about Noah sending out a dove. Which is true, but it was after the raven. A little bible knowledge = )
