Oh, how I wish I had cable. I can't wait to hear about the reaction.
We just covered the Russian revolution in my course and I read a little about the Internationale - I'm totally sending that link to my professor. Thanks for sharing
As to James Cameron's documentary...it would be nice if it were true, but don't count your chickens just yet.
I don't know how DNA could prove anything, since we don't have a clue what Jesus' DNA profile was. The best they'll be able to prove, I suspect, is that there's a bunch of people in that tomb who all happen to be family. Even if they bear similar names to some of the people in the Bible, it would be entirely possible that they adopted biblical names if they converted. It has happened.
But whatever the evidence is -- you know no fundamentalist is ever going to believe it. They will believe anything else first. Remember that Bible verse they like: "Let God be true, and every man a liar."
This is going to make NO DIFFERENCE, except to a few scattered people here and there. If it makes a real difference, it will only be to increase the fundies' determination to "get even" with the godless world and, if they have to, nuke everybody to prove that they're right
