Antediluvian Pulchritude II

I have thought of the perfect example of antediluvian pulchritude.  Both of these quotes aren't word for word unless I am by accident remembering them correctly.  At Christmas I went to a service to hear the singing.  It was Christmas Eve and it was lessons and carols.  We got near the end and the words from the bible were:  you will find the child in the barn wrapped in baby clothes.  I nearly fell off the pew.  What!?!  (shows you how long its been since I went to church but anyway...)  I far prefer the old beautiful words from the King James Version:  You will find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.  Right on.

I can't remember how to get rid of the poll.
