Realistically, relics tended to be things like the knuckles of saints. Often more knuckles than said saint could actually have, as the relic business was pretty lucrative then. A church with "the finger of St. Stephen" would attract a lot of pilgrims, so they'd be willing to pay top coin for such.

"Pieces of the True Cross" were also popular relics.

Isn't there a Temple of Soloman, too? Not sure if you could call it an artifact. Or if I even have the right name/time period for that thing.

Holy Grail comes after this. And the Temple is not convenient to take into battle against Muslims.

I know but at the same time, I would rather not have bones with me going into war.

I have one of those, by default. Decorated to look nice and everything.

Takes place before that thing was "made". And I'm a patriarch so it's not like I would do that. stick out tongue

Which is why made was in quotes.

It was made after the crusades, or the 2nd one at least. It's attributed to the thing Christ wore but it could not be real. And when one smart kid tries to use it against me, I already have that prepared.

The older it is, the more unbelievable it is. And I'll actually be able to prove one of my relics power in front of the class, which will be awesome for gaining support.

It may have existed before then, but historical records only date back to the 14th century. If it did exist, it hadn't been found by the time of the Second Crusade.

It's a cartoon for kids, specifically younger girls, that's not horrifically offensive and sexist, and is reminiscent of both Powerpuff Girls and Sailormoon. It's also wildly popular among both men and women in their 20s. What's not to love?

It's about damn time there's some decent kids shows on again.

I had tons of MLP toys when I was a kid, but the older cartoons (well, most cartoons for girls in the late 80s-early 90s were crap) sucked. This is awesome!

Well, since everyone knows your opinion is the opposite of what's right... wink

Yup.

Contradictory statement is contradictory, GK.

Contradictory in your opinion, Moo, which only further proves my assertion to be correct!

That's not necessarily a good thing to be. Especially with how every single time someone says something about liking something, you appear to go "no it sucks".
