Shrouded

The Shourd of Turin again baffles scientists.

Now, in a peer reviewed journal, it has been agreed that the carbon dating tests that were done in 1988 that placed the shroud only hundreds instead of thousands of years old were taken from a reweave instead of the actual shroud.

These things and others like them, are the reason I’m glad that things such as the Holy Grail, Atlantis, and other artifacts of antiquity have not been found. On one hand, it keeps the mystery and stops people from arguing endlessly about whether or not they’re quote-unquote real.

But, on the other hand, if they were found, it would keep these same scientists testing endlessly rather than running about creating monsters and threatening humanity with doomsday devices.

But I’m not sure which hand would be better chosen.

Ok…some things….

1. You’re going to be packed in like sardines in an airplane if you pay coach class. The secret is you’ve got to fly when the other sardines aren’t. Then you get the whole row to yourself.

2. No matter how much room, you’re still never comfortable sitting/laying in the sardine can that is the modern airliner.

3. Virginia Woolf’s Early Short Stories : Holy God-Awful Boring. Except for the society, that one was awesome. There was another one. I’ll have quotes from those two stories tomorrow evening on here, when I’ve got access on my own comp.

4. I now officially REALLY hate CNN. Nothing sucks more than being stuck in an airport where they are playing it louder than your earphones go, and the news is repeated every half an hour. I swear that I’ve got all of today’s broadcast memorized.

5. Airports should NOT change the gates that flights are departing on in between when I arrive at the airport 5 hours early, and when I need to leave. Almost missed my flight, but made it to the gate with still 15 minutes to sit there and wait to board. I don’t know what caused me to double check the gate status(because early it said the gate that I was at, and that gate is the one I’ve flown out of for the last 3 flights), suffice to say that SOMEONE was watching out for me.

6. Cowboy Bebop is a brilliant cartoon show.

7. I’m tired.
