so once again i purposefully (i'm lying) extended the period of the weekly culture quiz. so here are the results...

the secular...
you guys are too smart. you guessed correctly and they say that the bacteria in the dog's mouth is very dangerous!!! i told him in America that people say that a dog's mouth is cleaner than a human's mouth... to which he implied that we were crazy. i then had to explain how they are pets and don't roam the streets rooting in garbage bins all day like they do here.

the spiritual...
i gothca on this one... the answer is that they will scare away the angels! I was told that angels are everywhere, which i seem to think that we have forgotten in America, and that they don't like dogs too much. i disagree because i think that the angels would rejoice in all of creation. but anyways... i was told that people don't have dogs as pets because they want the angels around but if you have a ground floor apartment or a villa with a garden you can have a dog and keep them there for protection and the angels will still hang out in your house.

here are the results...
