On another thread, I saw a post from Freeper (sorry that I cannot remember your name) that the gypsies were contracted by hire to make the nails that were to nail Jesus to the cross. This poster said that the gypies made all of them except the gold one that was meant to peirce Jesus heart. In a secret deal, they were told that if they forfeited and reniged on the deal...that they would have sanction from g-d that they could steal and theive forever, without guilt.
This has my interest.
