    I'm confused, but I think I have the answer:

    The family would paint an X with lamb's blood on the door/lintel to protect their son(s) from death.

    What did they use as a brush, it was very important, in ancient times it was known to ward off evil spirits and death.

    Ooh Mauro you looked it up :D yes Hyssop is the missing bit, they had to dip it into the lamb's blood and daub the doorposts and lintels with it.

    Your turn.

    Easy one,

    Who claimed the "Hand of God" helped him score the winning goal in a 1986 World Cup soccer match?

    Cool.

    What was sold for NZ$700 million last week, causing many of us here in New Zealand to moan "I wish I had owned THAT. I could be a zillionaire now."

    Ah, sorry for posting something so hard. It's something to do with the Internet. Something someone did 7 years ago that has just been purchased for $700 million, making the rest of us very jealous.

    Ah, sorry for slowing this down. A blog wouldn't sell for $700m, but Lost Meme is the closest so far so he might as well win. It was actually www.Trademe.co.nz, which is pretty much NZ's version of eBay. Somehow this guy Sam Morgan started this little online auction site in 1999, introduced NZ to the concept of online auctions, beat eBay at their own game, resulting in Trademe becoming NZ's number on most popular internet site, and ending up selling the business for $700m last week. Your turn, Lost Meme.

    Excellent.
    By the way, there's a comma in your link.

    What type of kryptonite always removes Supermans (and other Kryptonians) powers permanently?
