The last gospel of the Bible, translated by Joseph Smith and published in 1830.
Is Mormonism of Christianity?
Galatians 1:8 (NIV)
But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned!

Russian/Ukranian folklore witch.
Lives in a hut in the middle of the forest. The hut has a distinct personality, and is built on chicken legs, so it can move around, spinning and screeching. It may turn its back on visitors, or even run and jump on them. However, when the secret password is stated, the hut calms itself and squats to allow the visitor to enter.
Baba Yaga is also unique in that she flys around the forest in a giant mortar, steering herself with a large pestle.
Baba Yaga makes appearances as the villain in the once popular "Quest for Glory" games by Sierra.

- Upgraded Xbox Live (Free silver account for activities like text & voice messaging, video chat / Subscription Gold account for online game multiplayer)
- Detachable hardrive
- Every single game in high definition with at least Xbox Live Aware

- Backwards compatibility with most Xbox games (v.i.a emulation)
When released, the Xbox 360 will employ the most powerful graphics chip ever created. ATi (Xbox 360's GPU supplier) boasts that the Xbox 360's unified shader architecture allows the console to run at 100% efficiency, while previous consoles ran anywhere at 50% to 70% efficiency. While the PS3 employs more brute strength, the Xbox 360's streamlined processing will allow for overall better performance than the PS3.
With the fact that Xbox 360 is such a multifunctional media hub, Microsoft hopes that the Xbox 360 will appeal even to consumers who are not gamers.

German composer who lived 1770-1827.
Composer of 9 syphonies, 23 piano sonatas and numerous other woks, is aknowledged by many as one of the greatest classical composers the world has ever seen.
He began to lose his hearing in 1801, and pursued a rather erratic form of behavior. His opera, Fidelio, completely flopped and Beethoven had to revise it several times. He also became depressed because of his failure in his desire to become married. However, it was during this time he wrote "Symphony no.9", (while completely deaf) which is now reconized by many as the finest Symphony ever composed.
Other famous works include:
Sonata Pathetique Op. 13
Sonata quasi una Fantasia, Op. 27
Symphony 5
Fur Elise
He is amongst the "Big Four" of the classical composing community, with Bach, Mozart and Tchaikovsky.

While the era of classical music may be past, almost everyone who walks the earth today can hum the first few bars the Fifth Symphony.
