The "Jesus Tomb" Ossuary
I'm not happy with my initial response, so I've removed it. If I come up with something else, I'll post it in this space.
ah, i hope you do post something about it. i must say, the article about the whole hoo-haw surprised me and made me laugh, especially the fact that (in the article i read, at least) there was zero insight into the fact that, hey...the people in question might actually be someone else. i wonder how common the name "judah" was in that area (judah being one of the names inscribed on the ossuary/tomb-thingies).
This jesus tomb thing deeply worries me! I hope it's not true.
