Edited on Mon Jul-27-09 06:32 PM by Are_grits_groceries
ROME -- The Vatican says Pope Benedict XVI was looking for a light switch in the bedroom of his Alpine chalet when he tripped and broke his wrist while on vacation 10 days ago. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/07/27/AR2009072701189.html?hpid=moreheadlinesThere is a metaphor here. I just can't put it into words yet. |

Hmm.
Dunno why but I just thought it was funny.
