The Academic Benefits of Being Cultured

Quiz day in my Religious History class. Typically a piece of cake, but that day I was stumped on two questions:

1) Name the centurion who received a revelation about Peter at the same time that Peter received a revelation about him.

2) Name the woman whom Peter raised from the dead.

I had no clue other than the centurions name started with the letter “C”. But then the instructor gave two hints that saved me. The first was that the woman's name was also the name of one of the brides in Seven Brides for Seven Brothers and the second hint was that the centurions name is found in Hello Dolly.  “Hmm,” I thought to myself smiling "why that's Dorcus and Cornelius."

Boom baby, growing up with three older sisters finally paid off.
