*'''Historical Events''': one of the most important official religious assemblies in history -- called a "diet" -- occurred in 1521 concerning [[Martin Luther]] in Worms, Germany, and hence became the "[[Diet of Worms]]."

:*[[Tim Tebow]]'s completion of ten passes for 316 yards, at 31.6 yards per completion, in his stunning playoff victory against the [[Pittsburgh Steelers]], echoed his promotion of [[John_1-7_(Translated)#3:16|John 3:16]] and caused a million searches on the internet for that verse.

*'''Names''': remarkable skills or traits are associated with people who have unusual names to match.  [[Ken Ham]] built the [[Ark Encounter]] full-size replica of [[Noah's Ark]] in [[Kentucky]]; "[[Ham]]" was the youngest son of [[Noah]].
