Scotland, and Norse were handing out artifacts and a Holy Grail copy in
Minnesota in 1362? I'm afraid I can't take this kind of thing on faith.

Alan replies: Once again it seems I have to act as interpreter between Inger
and the rest of you. When she writes "that has to do with faith" she is not
referring to the whole of her message above. I think she is referring solely
to the bit about the "original" Grail, the one found by the Templars.
Whether or not you believe that this Grail was used by Jesus at the Last
Supper depends on your Christian faith or lack of it.

As for your declaration that you "can't take this kind of thing on faith",
Hal, well, Inger has promised that all the evidence for the unbelievable
subsequent fate of the Grail and its various medieval copies in Linköping
and North America will be published. Just don't hold your breath.
