  Yet more Papal comedy
It seems the Catolic church will remain a source of amusement. Following in a similar vein from the Sith-Pope pic from before, I saw this entry in the Uncyclopedia:
Benedict XVI, born Josef Rottweiler, is the brand-spankin'-new Pope. He reincarnated, Phoenix-like, from his previous form as Pope John Paul 2.0, in 2005. His first act as Pope was the ritual consumption of John Paul 2.0's body, thereby absorbing his secret powers. You do NOT want to piss this guy off.

This hoopy frood bears mucho resemblanci [Latin] to Darth Sidious of Star Wars fame. It was thought he would choose the name Palpatine as his papal "handle", but as the coincidence would have raised too many questions, he has chosen to stick with his original Terran name, Benedict XVI.

Understand, it's not that I'm trying to poke fun at religion, or the Pope, or Catholics. I just read this, and the laughter erupts unbidden from deep within the cockels. I mean, when you call someone a hoopy frood, the good times just come naturally!

Hmm... I'm not sure how funny that is, the only humor may be in its shock value, but there is no wit or tact to it.
