Default Just When You think It Can't Get Any Sillier

Hi all,

Good news, there's writing to prove James Tabor's hypothesis that the Jerusalem Tomb Ossuary image is a fish. Strange Letters that spell out the name Jonah has suddenly, miraculously appeared on the image.

Live Science is a bit more skeptical. They note that several scholars see "random squiggles" rather than the Jonah inscription.


Quote:
I am just a poor boy.
Though my story's seldom told,
I have squandered my resistance
For a pocketful of mumbles,
Such are promises
All lies and jest
Still, a man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest.

Paul Simon, "The Boxer"
Warmly
