That's a satanic ass carjack.

All together now (to the tune of "Break My Body" by the Piskies) "I'm a Pope jumper/Roof to roof..."

Hey kids, it's not all about playing jump Pope in the playground. It's about making that leap of faith.

Pope Jumping is surely the next extreme sport, to be seen on ESPN; you have two teams, one of jumpers, one of papists, and the papist team's captain is THE POPE, whose papists must keep the jumpers from, well, jumping the pope.

I'm thinking something like a cross between Kabaddi and Australian Rules Football, maybe?

The next extreme sport? It's been around for a long time. Check out the fresco of Lucas the Minor going for a "funny hat grab front side fakey fakey" in 1246.

Is there any point in asking for clarification? Perhaps I am missing the point, but I wonder what the reasoning is behind these claims:

Rusty wrote:"...man who I believe could be accuratley described as the most intelligent in german history, and the most prudent practitioner of well reasoned action perhaps in the entire history of civilization"

The news source I've seen said an unnamed man aged 27, and 'described by the Vatican as showing signs of "mental imbalance," (Chicago tribune). They also report "His aim was not an attempt on the pope's life, but to attract attention to himself," said the Rev. Federico Lombardi, the chief Vatican spokesman.

An explanation of this statement goes through three stages:

First there's bargaining:

"It's because, y'know, organized religion innit? Condoms in Africa and that. Don't you want to talk about how religion keeps us down? I have a Richard Dawkins book we could talk about."

When that's exhausted we go to the next stage, denial:

"OMG IT WAS ONLY A JOKE LOLZ!!!"

And finally anger:

"You guys have no sense of humour u should go to the pub and put up shelves GET A LIFE LOOSERS!!!11!"

Ah. Thanks for clearing that up for me.
