"Pope-Killing Virus Claims Yet Another Victim" |
from _The Onion_
http://www.theonion.com/nib/index.php?issue=4115&nib=2
ROME--Doctors at Italy's prestigious Center for Papal Disease Control
announced last week that the infamous Pope-Killing Virus has claimed the
life of yet another pontiff. The latest victim, a Polish immigrant
identified by authorities as His Holiness John Paul II, is the third
pope to fall prey to the virus in as many decades. "The tragic fact
remains that, at this time, scientists know almost nothing about this
terrible disease that attacks the nerve center of global Catholicism,
and we are baffled as to how to fight its spread," CPDC head Dr. Emilio
Caminioni said. "How many popes must die before a cure can be found? Can
a viable treatment be discovered before another victim is claimed? These
questions remain unanswered." According to Caminioni, the deadly virus
has claimed the lives of 265 people over the past 20 centuries.

Oh I do like 'The Onion'. I must get into the habit of checking it more
often.
