Papal rumors
.. there's just no end to the rumors about the new Pope ...
... the Vatican has still not been able to quash rumors afoot that the new pope is the first "feral pope" who claims the Vatican as his first indoor residence in more than a decade ...
... some in the Roman press corps have heard rumors for years that for the past eleven and a half years the pontiff has lived in the Coliseum with the colony of feral cats and has subsisted on a diet comprised largely of mice ...
... likewise the deep stains on his teeth from his beverage of choice - 30 weight chainsaw oil and an obvious and pronounced vestigial tail visibly wagging under his papal robes only add to the air of majesty and mystery ...
... and I think those of us who want to point fingers and make judgements should think on the Dalai Lama's brief forays into headhunting and cannibalism and remember the he who is without a freezer full of human heads be the first to cast stones ... and remember that cannibalism is a disease and little slips are part of the recovery process ... and who doesn't have a little stash of "morgue jerky" stashed away in a credenza at work for a little hominid shmecken?
