I'm 56 so I remember the very beginnings of Sesame Street. One of my earliest memories is sitting on my little chair in my grandmother's kitchen and reciting my ABCs and 123s to my grandfather...in Spanish. (Oscar was and still is my favorite.) Sesame Street, Mr. Rogers, Electric Company and Zoom.

While the gospels say that Judas led the Romans to Jesus, a new theory is gaining traction with some Biblical scholars. There is evidence, some say, that Judas merely shared Christ's location on an insecure group chat that accidentally included several Roman officials and journalists.
