If the Shroud of Turin leaves Bloomington heading east at 50 mph and the Ark of the Covenant leaves Columbus heading west at 45 mph, at what point will the universe implode from the whole theological pomo-ness of it all?

Yes, I'd like fries with that...And, no, don't "supersize" my shroud, please.

This is hilarious! Thanks.

I think it is particularly good of you to provide pictures. I don't think I would have been able to leave without questioning the driver for a private exhibit....

What could anyone find humorous about Lutherans? Certainly, the Diet of Worms, Davey & Goliath, the Cheers TV episode where Woody gets married (Woody: "Ask her why she thinks the Book of Concord is not in line with the Scriptures!" Kelly: "Because it's not." Woody: "HERETIC!"), and jello molds are not funny.

Garrison Keillor has made a pretty good career out of Lutherans being funny, albeit not always ha-ha funny.

I know! I saw that too when I was going to O'Malia's. Wawas up with dat? And what the heck did they have in there? Not the actual Shroud itself; that almost never leaves the Shroud chapel, save for extraordinary reasons. Pictures and stuff? Pamphlets? T-shirts? (shudder)

Travelling shows are for circuses and tent revivals. I dunno about one for the Shroud...

Oh my gosh. Had I not seen, I couldn't have believed.

Thanks for taking the picture.

You want Shards of Ark? Check out this link: http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/story?...=2133311& page=1 -- evidently some archaeologists (ARKaeologists?) think they may have found Noah's boat. I'm afraid it's not travelling around in a van, however.

And at the Steak and Shake, no less. Hey, I guess those Shroud drivers gotta eat too. And who doesn't like a little Steak and Shake once in a while? Yeah, we definitely needed the pic for reference.

We ate at Steak N Shake, and darn the luck, there was no Shroud of Turin-mobile at ours. I'm jealous lol
