do if the last char of x is in "02468"?

I like Paul's, too.  That demonstrates a bit of power in the language.

On the first day, God created the heavens and the Earth
On the second day, God created the oceans.
On the third day, God put the animals on hold for a few hours,
   and did a little diving.
And God said, "This is good."
