Wow!
I was just looking for another picture of the Wicked Witch of the West online, and I found out that Wicked is mentioned -- OF ALL PLACES -- in the Bible!
Who'd 'a' thunk it?!?!?
I suppose knowing that she's mentioned in such a famous book so many times may be a consolation to her in the shame and embarrassment of her recent, highly public, and long-overdue firing.
It's pretty amazing -- the book is just chock full of references to her! Here are just a choice few examples that I just found on Google:
