The Facebooks and Interwebs are being invaded by the Zimbio and Buzzfeed quiz armies. I wrote about these on Monday and hypothesized that there should be a Zimbio Bible character quiz. More than one person suggested that I should write some of the questions for this much needed quiz. Okay, challenge accepted.
I’m only doing 5, though, because it is a lot of work coming up with 12 useless, apparently unrelated-to-anything questions with both obscure and obvious references. However, I already did one just off the cuff in reply to an earlier comment on Monday’s blog so, 20% was done. Feel free to add questions of your own in the comments, but just make sure that every question needs at least 9 possible answers to from which to choose.
Question One: Which Johnny Cash Song are you?
- Folsom Prison Blues
- Ring of Fire
- I Walk the Line
- I’ve Been Everywhere

- New King James
- NIV
- NASB
