[QUOTE=Annie-Xmas] Ya know the Pope’s robe was orginally white. [/QUOTE] Indeed. If you look [closely](http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn106/3aaat/misc/ZombiePopeBenedict-eatschildsbrain.jpg), you can see red on the faces of a couple of the onlookers; backsplash, no doubt. Appalling manners, really. ---

[QUOTE=control-z] Looks like he’s holding the poor kid up by their head! [/QUOTE] Another possibility occurred to me: perhaps he’s _re-inflating_ the “child”. Perhaps all of those adoring “people” in the crowd are merely blow-up dolls! Do you know what the implications of this are? Me neither. ---

Is it just me, or does the guy holding the child up to be eaten by God’s Rottweiler seem to have freakishly long arms? ---
