Is Sunday, Shrouded in Mystery?

In case you live under a rock, there is this religious 'Relic' called the 'Shroud of Turin'. It's supposed to be the death shroud of Jesus. He was supposedly wrapped in it after he was crucified and miraculously his image was imprinted to the shroud when he was zapped into the hereafter. Last month the History Channel ran this Face of Jesus thing, which I actually sat through... HORRIBLE. Completely one sided, these people knew it was 'real' going in. Ignoring the dating that it was in fact only made in the 1400's, they used computer imaging 'techniques' to make the 3D image of the person on the shroud. Of course the person was then made to look like a white dude with dark hair.... Everyone seems to keep forgetting Jesus would be a Middle Eastern Jewish man, he would NOT have light brown hair, he would not have European features and he wouldn't be tall... but try telling that to the faithful, when even here in a largely Hispanic area all the Jesus' are white.

Anyways, I thought the show was bad, the blood on the image looked wrong, blood wicks, most of this didn't. Jesus just looks wrong, in fact he looks like 1400 century artwork to me. But it turns out Greggory S. Paul, of dinosaur fame, has decided to deconstruct the image, it turns out if this was Jesus, he was over 6 feet tall, and a microcephalic, meaning his brain was small, like really small.


And of course his left arm was bigger than his right... Meaning he looked more like this in real life.

Except with the head like this:

So you tell me believers in the Shroud, still think it's real? I think the Bible might have mentioned that Jesus was really tall for the time or that his left arm was longer than his right or if he was micocephalic. Did I miss something?

Till next time!
