TRIVIA:How many Wise Men were there?

Hey gang-

A little trivia:

According to the bible, how many Wise Men were there that were seeking to visit baby Jesus?

**Jason Rainville** · December 25th, 2006, 10:33 PM

87, but since most of them were too busy fighting off orcs and goblins, only 3 made it to the party.

The Bible doesn't say how many there were. Because there were three gifts, everyone thinks that there were three of them...and there could have been, but we don't know how many...just more than one!

Gaspar, Melchior, and Balthasar, right?... Chrono Trigger anybody?... Evangelion perhaps?...

I remember it to be casper, not gaspar, but that might be a translation thing.

You're all forgetting Voltron, the greatest Wise man of them all.

Yeah, for some reason it is Casper in Evangelion.... It's Gaspar in Chrono Trigger though... Wikipedia says it's either Gaspar or Caspar...

haha Voltron.

Krywell is correct.

There were 6 of em but the other 3 were wise enough to not come.

Probably the same amount as there were in the Mithras story...?

Oh boy, I love bible trivia~
Umm.. umm.. six hundred and sixty six?
I think they were spies sent by Lucifer.

**A. C. Krywell** · January 1st, 2007, 10:52 PM

No, no, wait...there were three!

"Those three wisemen,
They've got a semi by the sea,"

Yeah, yeah!

"Came down from heaven,
smoked nine till seven,
All the..."

Uhh...nevermind...
