Writer David Farley said he is investigating the 1983 disappearance of the "Holy Prepuce," which is a patch of the foreskin of Jesus and supposedly was the only body part he might have left on Earth. Until it went missing, it was the centerpiece of each January's Feast of the Holy Circumcision at the Church of the Most Holy Name of Jesus in Calcata, Italy.

Several theories persist about its disappearance, the most enduring of which is that it was swiped on orders from the Vatican, which was troubled by the attention it had historically received, according to a December Religion News Service dispatch. [Star Tribune (Minneapolis), 12-7-07]

After almost 2000 years it would probably be similar to beef jerky. Something else for you to take along on your desert trip.

Here's my take

With the introduction of DNA testing in the late 1970s and 1980s, scientists saw the powerful tool this process was for identification and determination of biological relationships. Thanks to the advent of DNA testing, we can now determine the identity of individuals and their relatives with exceptional accruacy and conclusiveness.

We wouldn't want those pesky round earth, pro-gravity types to go identifying the direct descendants of Jesus, would we?

Look up the Merovingians. I probably spelled it wrong, but they claim to have a direct blood tie to Jesus and Mary Magdelene. And yes, they claimed it long before the DaVinci code was even thought of.

Yeah, traveling with Jesus. Or at least his foreskin.

I'll probably have to bring E man for the company too.

Mary was smart. Holy Land was always a mess. So the first chance she got, it's immigration to France.

Bring a camera crew along, it could be the next reality tv show.
