Review (in 1996):

Whether you believe it’s the actual burial cloth of Jesus, or just another chic headstone rubbing, there’s no denying the world’s fascination with the Shroud of Turin.  The Shroud’s true origins are a mystery, and have been the subject of speculation for some time.  At this unusual site, good photo reproductionslet you get about as close to the Shroud as you ever will, while the excellent question-and-answer file reveals the cloth to be made of linen and just over 14 feet long.

A discussion of the 1988 Carbon 14 dating test (which asserted that the Shroud’s origin is medieval, not biblical) directly contradicts some researchers’ findings that the cloth is a Mandylion relic.  The final decision, as always, must be the viewer’s.

Review (in 1996):

This really ought to be called the “Malcontent Page”.  Bring your axe and grind it here, or just watch others rant on about the ATF, AIDS, gun control, and all the other bad dogs that are threatening to wee on the carpet we call the Constitution.  (That metaphor comes from the page’s section “Conspiracy, Control and ?????.)

This is for those who think the U.S. government is “out of control” – or rather, frighteningly in control.  Their motto, “If you don’t believe in something, you’ll fall for anything” is fittingly murky in its meaning, but it sounds terrific. Unsurprisingly, “Sovereign” believes in honoring capitalism – check out the “Freedom Shop”, where a measly ten bucks buys you proof that the limo driver shot JFK.  This is a marvelously packaged bunch of pixilated notions.
