confirmed yesterday that a piece of cloth found among the remains may have been a fragment I can confirm that I may have a winning ticket in next week's lottery. Confirmation ain't what it used to be.

"Solved At Last: The Burning Mystery Of Joan Of Arc"My first reaction on reading that title was "What mystery? They set her on fire."
Guess that wasn't the reaction the author was hoping for.

If they can just locate a living person whose mother can trace her lineage entirely through females back to a sister of Joan of Arc (if she had any sisters) or to a sister of her mother or of her maternal grandmother, they can see if the mitochondrial DNA matches.
Of course, finding someone who can trace his or her genealogy so far back on female lines will be difficult...better set CBS to work finding the documentation.

Articles like this I call "wish" articles. They are wishing to solve this riddle but, of course they never will. Finding ashes that "May" be female from a time that hundreds if not thousands of women were burned at the stake for being witches, is not a big discovery that proves anything. I suppose those who believe and hope in this dribble are also evolutionists.

French scientists, who have been studying those ashes, confirmed yesterday that a piece of cloth found among the remains - may have been - a fragment of Joan of Arc's gown. Well, there you go then. Science is infallable!

Now,
that is interesting. Enlisting a National Icon to arouse patriotic ardor to ally with the British against the Hun.
Of course, said Icon found her place in history fighting the British.

Well, it's the only military icon france has ever had so they didn't have much of a choice!
Perhaps the subtext of the ad was: 'it took 100 years to find someone french with a backbone last time, can we try harder this time. . . .' :D
