Man tries to jump into popemobile

VATICAN CITY - A man tried to jump into Pope Benedict XVI's
uncovered popemobile as the pontiff began his general audience
Wednesday in St. Peter's Square and was wrestled to the ground
by security officers.

The pope was not hurt and didn't even appear to notice that the
man had jumped over the protective barricade in the square and
toward the white popemobile as it drove by with the pope waving
to the audience.

At least eight security officers who were trailing the popemobile
grabbed the man and wrestled him to the ground. The pope didn't
even look back.

He said the man had gotten as far as the back of the pope's white
jeep before being wrestled to the ground, although from video
footage of the incident it was unclear whether he actually made
it onto the jeep.

1. Someone must've soiled their papal tighty-whities...

...seriously, glad Pope Benny's okay.

2. Maybe he wanted a blessing. I don't assume he wanted to hurt

the pope.More nuts want to kiss him than hurt him
