Yeah, Jesus Christ visits the inhabitants of the Americas as a resurrected being. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints don't believe in reincarnation.

I'd rather have Konerak Sinthasomphone remembered than that evil child molester, who's name should have been buried forever.

Maybe change the Satchmo question to "which _instrument_ did Satchmo play?" I guessed Blues and Jazz and sat confused for a bit before realizing what was wanted.
