How about "Icons of Creationism" or "Icons of Christianity"? In many
churches I've been in, there has been a corpse hanging on the
wall. The corpse, which is supposed to be Jesus, is usually made of
wood, and stuck to a trunk of a tree with pins or even glued. This is
clearly false, because Jesus was made of flesh and blood (or at least
bread and wine), and if his hands had been attached to the trunk with
nails, they could not have supported his weight. Real Jesus also
didn't hang on church wall, but on a particular hill in
Jerusalem. This means that the Christian icon is clearly a lie!

I guess you can find this error also in ... you know ... russian icons.

Hey, don't you watch her music videos? Oops! I did it again!

By the way, to my knowledge, Miss Spears claims to have not been
seeded by an intelligent being. Well, not yet anyhow. Hard to believe
that, though.

(Observe: no *intelligent* being.)
