My personal favorite was #35: In Jesus's parable, who stopped to help a man in need? A. Donald Trump B. Donald Duck C. Don Knotts D. a Samaritan

Yes, I fixed the punctuation/mechanical issue with the possessive form of "Jesus." I'm a grammar geek. Leave me in apostrophical peace.
Since I can't embed in the comments, I'll just link to this
ha! yeah, that one was by far the most ridiculous...

ah, the ole possessive word-ending-in-S. :) you know, there's an amazing essay by david foster wallace about the grammar and syntax geeks among us and just how far it can go (and did go in his own family). i think you'd like it. his own grammatical nerditude renders my own a cheap imitation, a complete poserdom of grammar authority. i can't remember what the essay's called, but it's in his "consider the lobster."

so while i'm not hardcore, i'm definitely borderline. it's most important to me that a sentence is syntactically structured in such a way that its logic and readability is clear and obvious. it's especially fun to explore, sometimes even exploit, the openings that emerge. haphazard writing kills wordplay and the more subtle joys of the art. but admittedly, sometimes my lazy trumps my persnickety, and i'm certainly not as picky as some.
