Can't be adultery on the seventh day. That's a day of rest and adultery is anything but.

[Alston]

I always heard No7 as being...'Thou shalt Not admit adultery.

[AlwaysConfused]

very good, Fred! Grasscarp, you take PENS home with you!?! I'm shocked. I love pens. I wish I had your pen, I might have to nick it. I'd kill for that pen and the A4 piece of paper. I wouldn't blame myself, I'd pin it on someone else, probably on a Sunday :D

[MadMen]

6 for me :-(

[Lie-in King]

I've broken 7 of them

[Mamyalynne]

[Mamyalynne]

Neither are most of us.

Some notes here about the commandments
Did you do it deliberately? You could unintentionally take a pen home from work with you. I don't think you could commit adultery without intention though.

1. Tricky for people who are capitalists as they are considered as worshipping money.

2. A graven image can be anything from a photo to an idol. I think the intention is that you shouldn't worship it. Did you put up pictures of your favourite singer or sports star when you were a teenager?

3. Another tricky one because the name of God has been incorporated into expressions like Cor blimey! the original meaning of which was God blind me!

4. Which day is actually the Sabbath?

5. Do you have to honour them if they are not the same faith as you?

6. Murder refers to killing other human beings.

8. If something accidentally drops into a bag you are carrying it's not stealing. Don't try that one with the police though.

9. Also taken to mean that you shouldn't tell lies.

10. If you've ever done any 'keeping up with the Joneses' you're most likely guilty of this one.
