The Ten Commandments

There's a lot of interest in the Ark of the Covenant (see link), but what's inside it is more important--it's where Moses put the ten commandments.

A March, 2007, USA Today article claimed 60% of Americans can't name the five of the ten commandments.

A Kelton Research study asked 1,000 Americans and found 14% could name all ten, but 25% could name the ingredients in a Big Mac.

Last year, I asked my 7th graders and found that 1 out of 26 could name nine of the ten, the rest couldn't even name that many.

How about you?
