zoinks! it's pope benedict!

Okay, perhaps it's because I wasn't raised Catholic, but does anyone besides me think it's hilarious that they call the car the Pope rides around the "Popemobile"? At the beginning I sort of thought it was just a joke, years ago, when I first started hearing the term, but now they say it in serious newscasts, like it's a real world. This morning, thousands of spectators cheered as Pope Benedict circled the arena in the Popemobile.

I can't help but think of the Batmobile and the Mystery Machine. Like maybe they should paint flames on the side.

Maybe we'll make Daddy a Pastormobile. I'm thinking airboat, with the Christian flag waving mightily on the back.
