Some months ago, Israel announced its multi-language website http://popeinisrael.org.il/ about Pope Benedict's current visit. But the Internet wasn't satiated, so yesterday The Consulate General of Israel launched a Facebook application called "Holy Land Trivia: From Creation to Creativity" to coincide with Benedict's arrival in Israel. Along with pictures of the country and a comments section, the application features several educational multiple choice quizzes. There are two subjects (Holy Sites in Israel and Modern Israel) and three difficulty levels (Easy, Medium, and Brave!) which determine the number of the randomly-generated questions. And whoever wrote these questions weren't afraid to ask the big ones. Did the Ayyubids or the Nabateans build Perta and Ovdat? Is it Judo or Windsurfing in which Israel holds its one Olympic gold medal? Do Christians, Jews, Muslims, or all three live in modern Nazareth? They're certianly frustrating, but you can never have too many obnoxious Facebook apps.
