That hand looks too cartoonish. I’m not believing it.

I agree with the characterizations that you and others have made, to the effect that the image looks rather “cartoonish.”

For the record, though, there is an error in the article’s description of the image. It says that the hand image is from the left hand. This is incorrect. It is actually an image of the right hand of the purported cadaver. If one were to lie on a mattress (or sit on a chair, for that matter), take his own right hand and place it under his thigh, he would notice that the “pinkie finger” side is toward the outside edge of the right side of the mattreess or chair on which he did this. The thumb would be on the side going toward the middle of the mattress. If one could make a drawing around the hand at this point, and then look at the finished product on the sheet, it would appear to be a “left” hand, as in the photos accompanying this article. What appears is a mirror-image of the hand. Not a big deal, but Dr. Zugibe might want to ask for a correction at Shroud.com in order to increase the credibility of an otherwise interesting article.
