IMDB rating: 5.20 Plot: A researcher at Chicago’s Natural History Museum returns from South America with some crates containing his findings. When the crates arrive at the museum without the owner there appears to be very little inside. However, police discover gruesome murders on the cargo ship that brought the crates to the US and then another murder in the museum itself. Investigating the murders is Lt. Vincent D’Agosta who enlists the help of Dr. Margo Green at the museum - she has taken an interest in the contents of her colleague’s crates. Unknown to both there is a large creature roaming the museum which is gearing itself up for a benefit reception which the city’s mayor is to attend. |

The pilgrim who did a brisk business in fake holy relics was the?
Canterbury tales
The Pardoner.
"For in his bag he had a pillowcase
That he said was Our Lady’s veil.
He said he had a piece of the sail
That Saint Peter had, when he strode
Upon the sea, till Jesus Christ of him took hold.
He had a cross of metal, full of gems.
And in a glass jar he had pigs’ bones."
It’s towards the end of the prologue.
But the funniest story EVER about a dealer in fake relics is Book 6, Chapter 10 of Boccaccio’s Decameron. How will he fleece the crowd once his feather of the Angel Gabriel is stolen from him? I highly recommend it.
