which is why his brief correspondence with my grandfather likely went sour. Considering the Europeans got everything wrong, especially about the shape of the cross (it would have been an "x," not a "t" and used rope, not nails), Helena wouldn't have known it from any other scrap lumber even with a note on it, since she didn't read Aramaic.

Yet people still lap this shit up. I can't figure it out. I guess flying without a net isn't for everybody.
