A - http://apps.facebook.com -- which I haven't used in eons!The corollary to this meme is just Google-searching each letter, or rather typing in each letter to see what the first hit is in the auto-complete. Here I'll do the actual first hit, and then the last of the choices on that list. And I'm eliminating anything identifying where I live, so sports teams and restaurant hits aren't included. ;-)
B - http://www.biblegateway.com -- no comments on this one; I use it a lot
