Actually, many people take it seriously. Just as busloads will come to
view manifestations of "Mary" in gourds and garages... there's a desperate
longing out there. Mike Ware did a riff on it on the list a few years ago,
and has written an essay on the Shroud of Turin, if not in History of
Photography, in another serious venue this past year. Perhaps someone can
provide the reference. I haven't read it, but feel confident giving odds
sight unseen that Mike did NOT go for it.
