Yes, I do remember that frequently told joke that was circulating widely about the person who used the hop, skip, jump method of biblical interpretation, opened his Bible to some random page and with eyes closed pointed to some verse at random. Opening his eyes he read, "... and Judas went out and hanged himself." Thinking there must be some mistake he repeated the process and the second time opened his eyes and read, "Go thou and do likewise." So this incident was widely cited as a solemn warning against using that particular method of Biblical reading and interpretation. However, well, other people have told many stories of opening the Bible at random and finding wonderful words of encouragement that spoke to them personally. So I supposed that God can use anything, even the wrong method of Biblical reading, to work his purposes.
Anyway, the Potter's field was a cemetery where poor people were buried and it was purchased by Judas using those 30 pieces of silver, in case someone forgot.
