Blockbusters: ('Alleged') 'Bearial Shroud' discovered on East Second Street

This, of course, was the somber scene on East Second Street between Avenue B and Avenue C last Sunday morning... Easter Sunday morning...



And now, there are claims, thus far unsubstantiated, on the very same fence, that ... well, see for yourself...





A neighbor, who asked not be named, said that archaeologists excavated the only known JoBear la Stuffing-era burial shroud in the East Village.

What's more, the remains of the bear wrapped in the shroud are said to hold DNA evidence of a picnic basket. Carbon-dating studies suggested the shroud was made between A.D. 2007 and 2009.

However, until researchers can conduct more, uh, research, the use of "alleged" will accompany the description to help temper expectations and prevent the block from becoming a tourist trap for various pilgrim types.
