happythoughts 0 #1 October 14, 2004 clicky QuoteFERRARI president Luca Montezemolo said today the Italian Formula One team would build a special car for Pope John Paul II to mark his 26 years as pontiff. "We will make a Ferrari Formula One car especially for the pope," Mr Montezemolo told reporters on a visit to the Vatican. However, Mr Montezemolo drew the line at changing the colour of the car from its customary red to a different shade that the pontiff might prefer. "The Pope would not be best pleased to see a Ferrari that wasn't a Ferrari," he remarked. Pope John Paul II will celebrate his 26th anniversary as head of the Catholic Church on Saturday Isn't the Pope 84 years old and has narcolepsy? "Yeah baby, it corners like it's on rails." I can hear it now, a priest announcing the fund list, "The poor fund, the hospital fund, the building fund, the Popes car insurance fund..." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dougiefresh 0 #3 October 14, 2004 They'll have to make it bulletproof like the popemobile. Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. --Douglas Adams Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mr2mk1g 10 #6 October 14, 2004 Pope getting a ride in his popemobile - says to driver "I've never driven a car before, I'd like to have a go". Driver replies "Of course your grace, I shall pull over now and you can drive". He pulls over, they switch places and the Pope drives off at speed down the motorway. Two police officers are sat in thier car when the popemobile whizzes by at about 100mph. They set off in pursuit and proceed to pull the speeding vehicle over. One of the police officers gets out of the car and goes to speak to the driver. After a very brief moment, he comes back to the police car and the popemobile drives off. "Why did you let them go?" asks the second police officer, "we had him on camera doing 112 mph". "too important" replys the first officer, flustered. "who was it then?" Asks the second "dunno - but they must have been important - they had the bloody pope driving for them!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually, Vatican City is considered a seperate country from Italy, so he even has his own country. -Blind"If you end up in an alligator's jaws, naked, you probably did something to deserve it."

riddler 0 #9 October 14, 2004 The clutch on the average Ferrari is so stiff, I doubt that an 84 year old man could engage it. But what do I know? Maybe the pontiff does lunges in the sacred halls?Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
