a little bit of everything

It has been quite some time since I've posted anything, so what better way to make a reappearance than to offer you the best ever study break? Here are some articles/videos/other finds I have accumulated over the last few weeks that have interested me...some are funny, others lean to the more serious side, but all are equally wonderful!

Religious Studies
Remains of early Christian followers of Jesus have allegedly been found in a tomb near the Talpiyot Tombs in Jerusalem, a place that some years ago was said to be the place where Jesus' tomb was/is located. I haven't finished reading through all of these discussions and responses to the discovery (they're quite lengthy, but were all recommended by one of my TAs, so they should be good), but there is a lot of controversy surrounding it and essentially, many respected scholars and archaeologists are skeptical of the find.
A little bit about the find:
