Check this out, the Vatican has decided to "improve" relations with the United States, by going Nuclear...
Dateline Vatican - In a truly stunning development, the Vatican today announced that it has begun development on its own nuclear program.
A Vatican spokesman today announced that the Vatican is currently operating 3,000 centrifuges within the confines of Vatican City as part of an effort to develop nuclear power. Monsignor TJ Kong said, "It is important that the Vatican becomes energy independent. This is, of course, entirely for peaceful purposes. However if we decided to develop nuclear weapons that would be our right. But at this time, Project Holy Fire is entirely peaceful in nature."
Leaders across the world were shocked by the announcement of Project Holy Fire and are left wondering whether Vatican scientists have the technology to develop a nuclear weapon. A high ranking EU official speaking on the condition of anonymity says they do. "
Remember, the Church invented modern science and who knows what kind of information they have in those Vatican archives?"
International reaction was swift. While the Obama administration had previously shown little respect to the little City State, (championing abortion on demand, forcing the removal of Christian symbols before speaking at Catholic Universities, attempting to remove freedom of conscience for Catholic health care workers and adoption agencies, funding the destruction of embryos, and repeatedly trying to nominate a pro-choice ambassador) it seems to have its attention now...

THE rising number of fat people was yesterday blamed for global warming.
Scientists warned that the increase in big-eaters means more food production — a major cause of CO2 gas emissions warming the planet.
Overweight people are also more likely to drive, adding to environmental damage.
Dr Phil Edwards, of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, said: “Moving about in a heavy body is like driving in a gas guzzler.”
Each fat person is said to be responsible for emitting a tonne more of climate-warming carbon dioxide per year than a thin one.
It means an extra BILLION TONNES of CO2 a year is created, according to World Health Organisation estimates of overweight people.
The scientists say providing extra grub for them to guzzle adds to carbon emissions that heat up the world, melting polar ice caps, raising sea levels and killing rain forests...
More at the link, if you can stomach it. Good thing I have another reason to lose my weight - saving the planet!
Finally, this is old news, but it still ain't right.
Nyuck, nyuck, nyuck!
Funny stuff. Loved the line, "...if we decided to develop nuclear weapons that would be our right." Good thing they didn't have this technology during the Crusades!
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing the Stooges movie wouldn't do too well. That demographic is probably not too profitable for Hollywood.
Jeff - I'm still having a hard time seeing Sean Penn as a Stooge, well at least a funny Stooge. It will be interesting to see how it turns out, and whether the general public will buy into it.
