Thanks **Dolores** and **Zebra**! 33rd place. Whew! I was starting to worry about nosebleeds with the trend I’d been doing back in the higher parts of the lists lately. 😉 BTW, about the jelly beans question: Since all jelly beans are devil poop, why single out just the black licorice ones? ---

[QUOTE=OtakuLoki] Salty, licorice and anise-flavored, small candies. [Jelly bean](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jelly_beans) [Black licorice](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_licorice) [/QUOTE] Thanks. I know what they are. I wondered about the reference to proving/disproving God’s existence. Is that some sort of topic for childhood debate? Or was it just tossed in because liquorice and jelly beans are childhood staples?
