Shroud of Turin a gimmick to 'scam money out of medieval pilgrims'?
When Pound360 read that, we had to laugh out loud. Well, maybe not out loud. But we did laugh. According to the New York Daily News, the recent finding of an authentic Bible-era shroud casts further doubt on the authenticity of the legendary Shroud of Turin (which is supposed to be the sheet that Jesus was buried in). The newly discovered sheet has a "much simpler weave" than The Shroud. Furthermore, radiocarbon dating shows The Shroud originated in the middle ages. "Skeptics said the cloth could have been forged to scam money out of medieval pilgrims."

- pound360
- I started pound360 to channel my obsession with vitamins, running and the five senses. Eventually, I got bored focusing on all that stuff, so I came back from a one month hiatus in May of 2007 (one year after launching Pound360) and broadened my mumblings here to include all science.
