Humor - The Georgia Board of Education has approved the introduction of two literature classes on the Bible in public schools. This makes Georgia the first state to endorse and fund biblical teachings. The two classes are "Literature and History of the Old Testament Era," and "Literature and History of the New Testament Era."

The Board of Education also should consider other courses to supplement the Bible studies:

• Earth - The flattest planet in the Universe

• Paul Bunyan, Johnny Appleseed, Charles Darwin, and other mythological figures

• The physics of magnetic yellow ribbons

• Jefferson Davis - The master who put the master in the Master Race

• An Introduction to the history of NASCAR

• Emerson, Thoreau, Sean Hannity, and the Transcendentalist Movement

• Economics 101 - Controlling world financial markets with a pocket calculator and a copy of “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion”

• From Gomer Pyle to George W. Bush - A study of great sentence fragments

• Science 102 - How things blow up

• Ancient Greek Civilization - Life before the Waffle House
