My Nan would look like a Naan bread, since she's been dead for years.

On the other hand, Indian restaurant menus aren't exactly known for good spelling.

According to the American Libraries Association, in 1993, the Mingus, Ariz. Union High School challenged the choice of Of Mice and Men as an appropriate English curriculum assignment because of "profane language, moral statement, treatment of the retarded, and the violent ending."

The Putnam County, Tenn. School Superintendent pulled the same book from a classroom a year later "due to the language in it." He said, "We just can't have this kind of book being taught."

The Loganville, Ga. High School (1994) also challenged its "vulgar language throughout." Herbert N. Foerstel lists Of Mice and Men as the U.S.'s second most frequently banned book inthe 1990s.

# That's not all.
The banning of teaching Darwinism has occurred many times through the years, only to be overturned by sane people. There is an organisation of mad christian scientists who are trying to prove that fossils and geological evidence was put there by satan.
