Hosted at the MacGorman Performing Arts Center on the Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary campus, the exhibition showcases biblical artifacts that include 21 fragments of the original Dead Sea Scrolls, at least 12 of which have never been shown publicly. To prevent overcrowding, guests enter the exhibition at 30-minute intervals, though they may explore the displays at their own pace once inside. The exhibition runs through Sunday, January 13.

"Dead Sea Scrolls & the Bible"

In 1947, a Bedouin goat herder near Israel's Dead Sea stumbled upon several caves filled with ancient parchment hidden in clay jars. These deceptively simple containers contained an earth-shattering treasure: 1,350 separate records of biblical texts, hymns, and prayers that represent nearly every book in the Hebrew scriptures. Not long after their miraculous discovery, these records would gain the name they're known by today: the Dead Sea Scrolls. Located within the Southwestern Seminary campus, the Dead Sea Scrolls & the Bible exhibition showcases 21 fragments of the original scrolls, at least 12 of which have only been seen privately until now. Curators supplement the scrolls with items such as a 20-foot-long facsimile of the book of Isaiah—one of only 12 in existence—and original tools used during the scrolls' excavation in the 1950s. At the Qumran Simulated Dig Site, Ph.D. students help visitors put such tools to work as they excavate 2,000-year-old potsherds.

The Groupon Guide to: Urgent Warnings to Shout at Horror-Movie Characters

A well-timed movie-theater outburst can stop a character in a horror movie from getting killed—or worse. What are some helpful things you can shout at the screen the next time you see a scary movie?

  • "Look behind you!"
  • "Look behind you—into that mirror! The killer was in front of you the whole time!"
  • "Look inside yourself! There you'll find the key to your survival: self-confidence."
  • "Look inside yourself! There you'll find the key to your survival: a literal key." (Saw movies only)
  • "Look out! The killer's too legit too quit!"
  • "No, don't split up! That's what my parents did and that was awful!"
  • "Don't go in there!"
  • "Do go in there! 'There' being a state of situational awareness in which you decide against entering the place you were about to go into."
  • "Don't look in the closet! That's where the killer is hiding his spare clothes!"
  • "Just relax. Time murders us all eventually."

When is it okay to scream at a movie?
