Ahh, relics. Now that was the business to get into during the middle ages.

The funniest satire I ever read was by Mark Twain in his two books "Innocents Abroad" and "A Tramp Abroad". To paraphrase, he said after touring Europe that he had seen enough nails to fill a keg, enough splinters to reconstruct the true cross and enough bones of Peter to reconstruct the saint.

That is hilarious and fitting too.
