This is not a religious post.
This is a post about something I thought I knew and didn't.
Driving to Dublin recently, I heard on the radio that a poll had discovered that lots of people in Ireland didn't really know much about their religion and stuff.
Are you with me so far?
90% of people, my radio said, did not know what 'The Immaculate Conception' was.
I snorted derisively. Try it, it's not easy... keep a little scrap of tissue handy just in case.
"I, for one", I said, "know what that is!".
Then... well... then they told me what it was... and I was wrong.
I was really wrong.
Now I was so sure that I knew what 'The Immaculate Conception' was that, had I been asked this question at the million pound point on 'Who Wants To Be a Millionaire' I would have answered confidently, arrogantly and, as it turns out, completely incorrectly.
It just goes to show you... something.
So, do you think you know what the 'Immaculate Conception' is? Check here and see if you're right:

I kinda reckon you're not.
This is what I thought it was:
