"Ten Little Injuns" is a popular song written by Septimus Winner in 1868 for the minstrel trade. It was based on an 1850s minstrel skit about one John Brown whose Indian (referring to "Native American") boy grows from "one little Injun" into "ten little Injuns," and then back to one,[1] i.e.:[2]
- John Brown had a little Injun;
- John Brown had a little Injun;
- John Brown had a little Injun:
- Had a little Injun Boy!
- One little, two little, three little Injuns, etc.
- Ten little, nine little, eight little Injuns, etc.

Lyrics[edit]
The lyrics as published by Winner in 1868:[3]
- Ten little "Injuns" standin' in a line,
- One toddled home and then there were nine;
- Nine little "Injuns" swingin' on a gate,
- One tumbled off and then there were eight.
- Chorus:
- One little, two little, three little, four little, five little "Injun" boys,
- Six little, seven little, eight little, nine little, ten little "Injun" boys.
- Eight little "Injuns" never heard of heav'n.
- One "kick'd the bucket" and then there were seven;
- Seven little "Injuns" cuttin' up their tricks,
- One broke his neck and then there were six.
- (Chorus)
- Six little "Injuns" kickin' all alive,
- One went to sleep and then there were five;
- Five little "Injuns" on a cellar door,
- One tumbled in and then there were four.
- (Chorus)
- Four little "Injuns" out upon a spree,
- One dead drunk and then there were three;
- Three little "Injuns" out on a canoe,
- One tumbled overboard and then there were two.
- (Chorus)
- Two little "Injuns" foolin' with a gun,
- One shot t'other and then there was one;
- One little "Injun" livin' all alone,
- He got married and then there were none.
- (Chorus)
- Encore Verse:
- This little "Injun," with his little wife,
- Lived in a wigwam the balance of his life;
- One daddy "Injun" and a mommy "Squaw"
- Brought up a family of Ten "Injuns" more.
- 2nd Chorus:
- One little, two little, three little, four little, five little "Injuns" more,
- Six little, seven little, eight little, nine little, ten little "Injuns" more.

Ok, as soon as I read this, I thought of Rev. 13.
Amazing. No TV's when this passage was written!
14 Because of the signs it was given power to perform on behalf of the first beast, it deceived the inhabitants of the earth. It ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived. 15 The second beast was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed. 16 It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, 17 so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.
18 This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man.[e] That number is 666.
*And remember, Obama's home town lottery winning numbers were 666 when he was elected. Things that make you go hmmm.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WJLA/AP) - The state Medical Examiner's office confirmed Friday that human remains discovered in rural Albemarle County on Oct. 18 were those of missing University of Virginia student Hannah Graham, 18, of Fairfax County.
The man Graham was last seen with, 32-year-old Jesse Leroy Matthew Jr., has already been charged with abduction with intent to defile Graham.
Prosecutors late Friday said they were now examining additional charges in the case.
"The focus of the investigation now is to determine what charges will be brought and the appropriate time to make those charges," Albemarle County Commonwealth's Attorney Denise Lunsford said. "We are working diligently with local law enforcement on the investigation to ensure that we make the best determination for our community and the Grahams in the pursuit of justice."
Graham's remains were discovered roughly 6 miles from where the body of 20-year-old Virginia Tech student Morgan Harrington was found after she vanished in 2009. Police have said forensic evidence connects Matthew to Harrington's killing, which in turn is linked by DNA to a 2005 sexual assault in the city of Fairfax. Matthew has also been charged in the 2005 case.
Matthew was an operating room technician

as soon as you read Rev 13 you ceased to think
"Amazing. No TV's when this passage was written!"

Yes ML your posts are always well thought out, just like the well thought out posts you made this afternoon. Let's face it you did it for one reason and one reason only. I am sorry for you and a bit embarrassed for you also.
I thought you were above this but I can see I was totally wrong.
I have abstained from any decision so do not look at me, please look in yourself and finally you only have yourself to blame.

The stuff about that set of lottery numbers being 666 "when Obama was elected" ? The POTUS was elected
on the 4th . The lottery ticket came up on the 5th, the NEXT day. So as it was 24 hours out, one could argue
that it has absolutely no relevence, yes ?
Oh, and "home town" ? Chicago is now the whole state of Illinois, is it ?

"I don't know for sure if Obama is the man of perdition the Bible speaks of, just thinking out loud, tis all."
what!!!! ????
you don't know if the POTUS is actually the anti-christ that will bring on the end of the universe with much pain and suffering as mentioned in a 2000yo book of magic but you thought you would post it on a public forum anyway????
rapid blinking of eyes......
you have a nice life you hear, try not too read too much into the signs.
may i also suggest if you have more of these great thoughts in a public space, phone a friend and see if they think you should air it or not before you say anything.
and don't mate with angels, or do, is it supposed to be good or bad???
i am so confused.
