Tired of discussing the Bunnymen and all the bands that have been influenced by them? This is the place for you.

Shroud of Turin

Besides the song, the story of the actual artifact is very interesting whether it's real or fake.

With the Force as his ally he did battle with the Dark Lord. And he showed the measure of a true Jedi at a place called "The Death Star" where hope for the Galaxy was reborn. May all who struggle against tyranny hold his memory in their hearts

I liked the tooth whitening ad at the side of the page. Are they before and after shots? The teeth look great but it seems there are pretty drastic side effects!

I visited that cathedral in 1995. The chapel that houses the shroud was under restoration - bummer.

The shroud is not on public display, just a replica.

Mr. Brian, I find that offensive.

Scouser's inability to se others' point of view is rather grating.

Who's this Jesus character anyway? Doesn't the Edge play guitar for him?

I didn't care about seeing the shroud, I wanted to see the chapel. But to be honest, I didn't know it was a replica that was displayed until this article. What a sham!

I say get some DNA off that shroud and lets see if we can grow a clone of Jesus and let's settle this thing.

Judging from his last few interviews, that's how the world got Ian McCulloch.
