The stuffed toy. With his friends, he is currently in the Children's room of a public library in New York City.
in the summer of 2001 it was the subject of a debate between Parliament and NYC. A British MP thought something so very British should be returned. Mayor Guiliani responded by saying he had visited Pooh that morning and he and his friends were quite happy where they were and New York was home to many imagrints. What a time it was when that was the biggest noise on the international stage.

As for the burning bush there is a monestary in the Siani which is at the base of the supposed mountain where Moses got the commandments. The site gave shelter to Mohamad and so has survived under his protection. They claim to have the bush there, currently not burning. But some monk with a sense of humor has stationed a fire extinguisher near it, just in case.

I thought the bodi tree leaf would be ironic since it is certainly an historical item on a par with the arc but wouldn't searching for somethnig material to own, go against the teachings he learned there?

Here are some Christian relics:

The Shroud of Turin

The Holy Chalice which Jesus used for serving wine during the Last Supper. Stories of this relic are often intertwined with medieval legends around the Holy Grail.

Pieces of the True Cross, including the half of the INRI inscription tablet, preserved at the ancient basilica Santa Croce in Gerusalemme in Rome. Very small pieces or particles of the True Cross are preserved in hundreds of other churches in Europe and inside crucifixes. According to Gerasimos Smyrnakis[1] Rohault de Flery calculated that the total volume of the True Cross was 178,000,000 cubic millimeters but by his time only 3,942,000 cubic millimeters survived. Smyrniotakis noted the largest part (870,760 cubic millimeters) was in Mount Athos, 537,587 in Rome, 516,090 in Brussels, 445,582 in Venice, 436,450 in Ghent and 237,731 in Paris.

The Calvary of crucifixion, a small rock called Golgotha, in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. Inside the church is a pile of rock about 3 m high, believed to be what is now visible of Calvary.

The Sudarium of Oviedo purported to be the cloth that was wrapped around the head of Jesus after he died.

The Iron Crown of Lombardy and Bridle of Constantine, said to be made from nails used during the crucifixion

The Holy Prepuce or foreskin of Jesus, removed during his circumcision

The Holy Lance (or Spear of Destiny), the spear of Longinus used to pierce Jesus' side when he was on the cross, to ensure that he had died.

The Crown of Thorns which was placed upon the head of Jesus at his crucifixion by the soldiers

Veronica's Veil, used to wipe the sweat from Jesus' brow as he carried the cross

The Seamless robe of Jesus, which is kept at the cathedral of Trier

Letters said to be written by Jesus himself to Abgar, the King of Edessa declining an invitation to visit his palace.

The "Icon Not Made by Hands" that Jesus allegedly sent to King Abgar V of Edessa to cure him of leprosy.

• A flesh golem created during a magic spike in the early 1790s, known to be preserved frozen in the arctic ice.
• A real Japanese sword made by a master, these are rare enough to all be documented, and many are named, see White Cloud for an example.
  Five of the most famous swordsmiths are Amakuni (c.700), Amafuji (c.800), Munechika (c.1000), Masamune (c.1300), and Muramasa (c.1500)

ooh I like that top bullet.

That's the sort of litterary cleverness i can appreciate.

Most of those are too big to be easily moved or to be a numinous object. They start to have value for materials and stuff.

yeah, we're drifting into pop culture stuff that is untrackable. Sure they can't all be the holy grail but we're international enough here to come up with local items.

...well, the Popemobile might have religious significance.
...the Oscar Meyer Wienermobile is an icon.
...and the Mirth Mobile...? It simply radiates Excellence.

...and yes, there really was a 3D model of the Rat Fink.

Dont forget "the Love Bug"

See the move "Salton Sea", it's friggin brilliant.

There's a short sub-plot where insane meth addicts plan a shadowrun to get the object in question...

And following that thought, Vlad the Implailer's Sword and his cloak.

I based part of my last campaign around retreiving the Joyeaux, the sword of charlemagne.

Part of the mystery is that since charlemagne's time was at the bottom of the manacycle, how did a magic item (weapon focus plus a few random powers) come into being? Was it a relic from a previous age, manufactured according to old ways, or did the collective beleif in it's legend empower the physical object when mana did return?

Question?

Are these items being brought up to be used as possible modern day foci or as “magical� items in the flavor of old world fantasy?

Does Troy Aikman’s Super Bowl rings give the wearer a bonus to their throwing skill or just allow a spellcaster to increase their casting ability? I personally prefer the former. More people could use it then.

Does Mike Tyson’s boxing shorts increase a person’s unarmed skill more or less than George Foreman’s gloves?

Does Jenna Jameson’s body jewelery give bonuses to seduction tests targeting both men and women?

What about the Donald’s comb? Does it give a face a bonus to negotiations if he/she uses it to form a comb over?

I have always thought that SR needed “magical� items that a mundane could use. Who doesn’t want a magical sword of slaying +5?

Seriously though, is there any canon on the subject of non-foci magical items usable by anyone who will spend the karma to bond them?

Not at all. my idea, yup I'm the one who started this, is looking for those items that in and of themselves do not have any wealth or magical powers but which can inspire people to great quests-like the Maltese Falcon.

No real magic items for mundanes, but some kind of potions.
SR4 has introduced magical compounds, mostly they give you a critter power for a limited amount of time and have some side effects you suffer afterwards.
There's also an optional rule in Augmentation to create elixiers and the like that aid in healing tests.
Not exactly like a healing potion, rather like a way to substitute Enchanting for the Medicine skill, but nice to have.

I think I remember reading about the magical compounds in one of the earlier books... Stupid brain, work or I'll poke you with the Q-Tip again!

Street Magic had the first 3 and general guidelines for the GM to create compounds of his own, Arsenal came up with some more, including such nifty stuff as immortal flower.

Wasn't there something about a magical ink that you could use in tattoos?

Alright, here's one for the blade crazy in Shadowrun.

The Ferrium C69 Dragonslayer.

Blade, or fans of Mike Tyson

actually it's based on polyneisian magic, and osme hcinese, where basically you make the focuys part of your body.
