    I suppose it could be him in his casket. Looks pretty similar to this:

    The room where Lincoln was taken is incredibly tiny. The bed was so short, they had to place him diagonally on it. I really doubt in the time between the shooting and the removal of his body, and with the number of doctors, officials and staff, any photographer with 1865 era equipment would have been able to squeeze in there, set up and get a shot.

    On Saturday Night Live, Father Guido Sarducci once had Jesus' high school graduation picture and the bill for the Last Supper.

    Don Novello was amazing in that character. Never failed to make me laugh. Pope on a Rope Soap was genius.
