Prayer!

Exlif data

Our Father, which art in heaven,

Hallowed be thy Name.

Thy kingdom come.

Thy will be done,

in earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses,

As we forgive them that trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation;

But deliver us from evil:

[For thine is the kingdom, The power, and the glory,

For ever and ever.] Amen.

* of the year

It is that time of year again when every body declares the * of the year. * is a wild card and dosen’t represent a Star! One can fill any thing in the place of *, man, women, dog, etc. Every body tries to promote their brand ambassador as the face of 2006.

If the mode of selection is fool proof and done by great analyst (as claimed) then how come different group publish different lists ?
