    However, Huck Finn

    Though I'm sure it offends Alby's refined racial sensibilities.
    Oh, I agree, that's an absolutely awesome book. However, while he may have referred to the movement, it's very un-Huck-like to use the proper name for something, and still more unlikely for him to get it correct. I believe at one point in the book he refers to the Protestant doctrine of "preforeordestination," or some such mangling. But the Duke and Dauphin defraud what I interpreted as a generic 1800s tent-revival meeting. Maybe that's what the Great Awakening was. Beats me, I'm Orthodox.

    EDIT: Wiki confirms that 1800s tent-revival meetings were in fact "the Second Great Awakening."

    • I got the Great Awakening question right as well, but I just guessed. So you could say I really deserved 13/15.

      The trick isn't to break some eggs to make an omelette, it's convincing the eggs to break themselves in order to aspire to omelettehood.
