Yeah, don't do that in public. When it comes to fans’ love of video games, it can drive them to do many cool and wondrous things.

It can even lead to them buying various reproduction items of characters and items from the titles they dig. We’ve all seen gaming statues or versions of legendary weapons being sold at things like Comic-Cons, and The Legend of Zelda has had that happen multiple times with things like the Master Sword and Hylian Shield. Among other items from the series, of course.

A newly deciphered manuscript dating back more than 1,600 years has been identified as the earliest known account of Jesus Christ’s childhood. 

The manuscript, written on papyrus in either the 4th or 5th century, had been stored at a library in Hamburg, Germany, for decades and was long believed to be an insignificant document.
