1. No, but they exist

One of my great aunts left money to them in her will, and they used it to buy Bibles to put in hotel/motel rooms.

2. I used to dodge bible-hurling Gideons on my college campus all the time

3. I'm going to wait at a hotel and catch one someday...

4. Gideon is the alternate dimension from where those Bibles spring into

existence. Kinda like a reverse black hole.

Edit: they're EVERYWHERE! Even the hotel I stayed in Cuiabá had them! Wait while I find a map... wow, not even the CIA map has it. But it's in the X:

9. You mean Gidea?

5. Yes.

They are regular citizens who provide bibles for hotel rooms in their communities. They don't have a separate church. Anyone can be one.

6. Sure. Here's a bunch of them.

7. Strangely, yes

An honest-to-Pete Gideon spoke at a Rotary-type civic meeting I attended. He was a nice fellow.

11. Whole vast quantities of them.

I catered a dinner for a group of Gideons one evening. And yes, - they gave me a bible.
