I should know: I said 50 of the real ones on my little beads every time I spent a Saturday at my grandparents' house.

What next? The Internet Rosary? lol

You surprise me: you didn't link to an audio file of "Ave Maria"...

I have a better prayer for you, a real one, taught to me by my seventh grade math teacher:

O great Saint Joseph of Cupertino, who whilst on Earth didst obtain from God the grace to be asked on your examinations only the questions you knew, please grant for me a like favor in the examinations for which I am now preparing. In return I promise to make you known and cause you to be invoked. Amen."



He's the patron saint of air travel, pilots, and astronauts, so invoking him is especially appropriate at the Zone.

He got his patronage assignment because he levitated in ecstacy while praying, so when your head is in the clouds, you can blame him for your feet not being planted on the ground. ;) ;)

Yours in Cripes--
