Ask your god this!

It seems I've been tagged for this by TheBrummell. First, the rules:

1. We have to post these rules before we give you the facts.
2. Players start with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
3. People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
4. At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
5. Don't forget to leave them a comment telling them they're tagged, and to read your blog


However, simply eight facts about me seems a bit dull. How about eight facts and two lies about me, in no particular order? I'm still giving you eight facts, so it fits the bill. Your challenge is to figure out which eight are true and which two are lies. If you're the religious sort, this might be a good time to test out how well Divine Revelation works, so see if your god will give you the answers.

Here are the "facts," in no particular order:

1. On multiple occasions, I have used a knife to assist in drinking Coke.
2. I consider myself a "Secular Humanist."
3. I consumed more alcohol before I turned 21 than since then.
4. I've watched the movies of the new Star Wars trilogy more times than I've watched the movies of the old trilogy.
5. In real life, the only nickname I've had with any staying power whatsover was "The Beast" (though it still didn't have much).
6. I avoid writing with pencils and chalk at all costs. The sound/sensation of the lead or chalk being scraped off just grates my nerves somehow.
7. I once got a fundamentalist Jewish Creationist to admit to the possibility of a non-divine origin of the universe.
8. In early high school, I thought I'd disproven Special Relativity.
9. My fashion sense consists of judging whatever is on top of the pile or in the front of the closet at a given time to be most appropriate.
10. I once dressed up as a Terry Pratchett character for Halloween - and more than one person recognized who I was (though at UW, this isn't necessarily surprising).

Also, I'm opposed to pyramid-memes on principle, so I'll just let whoever wants to pick this up and run with it.

I'm going to say numbers 2 and 4. I actually suspect 4 is true, but I can't pick another one, because. . . wait. Number 10 is partially flase, in that you weren't recognized. 2 and 10. That's my guess.
Assuming 10 is at least partially true, who did you dress up as?

I'll give this a little more time before revealing the answers, in case anyone else cares to take a guess.

I will make a note however, that I'm not being tricky here: Every statement is either completely true or completely false; I'm not mixing up truth and lies to make something trivially false.
