From the 'Who Knew' Department...

On Cherubs...

A cherub is a mighty angel. One of the functions of the cherubim was to serve as guardians. These angels guarded the entrances to both the tree of life (Gen 3:24) and the Most Holy Place (Exod. 26:31-33). Two cherubim of hammered gold were part of the ark of the covenant (Exod. 25:18-22). The living creatures carrying God's throne in Ezekiel 1 may have been cherubim.(from Wikipedia).

And I thought they were just cute cubby little angels. I guess you don't want to get on the wrong side of one of those.
