well, it sounds like having guests over was better than not and watching the doc. i was curious about what possible functions the dna sampling could have served, beyond adding an element of pseudo-science to this advertising delivery system. i had figured either:

(a) if the tomb was that of the jesus everyone thinks of when the name jesus is used in this kind of context that maybe there would be some kind of anomaly at the genetic structure level as a function of the halfsharkalligatorhalfman status jesus is said to have occupied--and the idea of there being a claim to have isolated strands of god-dna made me laugh...or

(b) it could be used for "identification" purposes, which seemed just bizarre: "this is definitely the right jesus and we have proven it using dna" made me wonder what that evidence could possibly be compared to. this, too, made me laugh.

but using it to establish relations amongst elements of a set the status of which remains indeterminate is i guess as far as you could really go with this kind of evidence and stay within rational bounds--tho i had hoped they wouldn't.

so if i understand the reactions to this advertising delivery system correctly, it provided much the same kind of infotainment as the "geraldo find al capone's safe" thing did.
that right?
