Holy Relics

[Bad Penny II]

We've had a bit more activity here lately but I think we could do better.

Ouch! OK, how could we do supposedly better?

We gather and promote a collection of relics and THEY WILL COME!.

Sounds awful.

You're always so negative Green, that's why we aren't richer and more popular.
Anyway, we already have the HAF piece of the true cross.
The green tinted bit of radiata with the standards stamp and galvanised nail in it that Anne D has to hang her bottle opener on before she goes home?
Yes, our piece of the true cross.
I've been watching the market, I can get a deal on a job lot of body hair. 
Hair of Darwinian beard, Einsteinian eye brow, Dawkinsian nasal hair.
Awesome
I think we can get a feather from the dove that came back to Noah, there's a lot of those on offer.
The hooves of the donkey that carried Jesus, there's only six of those going but I think we could get one.

Anyway, discuss.

Jesse-James-gun

Unfortunately there is the possibility that hundreds of guns owned not by Jesse, but by his mother Zerelda Samuel (she had remarried after Jesse was born), were passed on long after Jesse's death. Ever the shrewd marketer, Zerelda frequently passed on any number of revolvers, shotguns, and rifles with handwritten notes vouching them to be 'my son Jesse's gun'. Unlike her son, she lived a long a healthy life. Dying at age 86 in 1911, her obituary stated, 'considering the thrilling vicissitudes of her life, she was exceptionally well preserved and was in fairly good possession of all her faculties."

We don't want any of that here! Get ye back to ya gun thread!
You needn't have done that, Tank 'll be swooping in anytime now to sweep that post away into the ever grey of the unplumbed depths of derail nothingness.

I'll be looking for a genuine Rothmans cigarette butt, certified to have been stubbed out triumphantly by Christopher Hitchens.

I will not be cleaning up derails here.

We just got twenty of those forever interred at the bottom of an empty Mr Walker's amber restorative.

I want a jar of preserved Darwin's breath.

Newton's Apple would do me.

Something that Taylor Lautner has worn will do nicely, thank you.

I really don't want to smell dinosaur breath! Especially a meat-eater's.

Hey isn't that the thing I saw you with at the little kids birthday, about the time all their balloons almost spontaneously burst, causing many tears?
Erm, possibly.
What's that thing sticking out the end?
That is a Toe Nail of The Asmo, a most potent holy relic.
It is a bit whiffy, so you stuck it on a pencil.
Not any pencil, the Asmo wrote the eighty seventh of his holy tomes with it.
And you used it to burst the balloons of a bunch of four year olds?
The Asmo would have wanted it so, children should learn loss and despair early.
