We've got Pope! And it's Ratzinger! Lord, protect me from your followers.

And now, please join me in song and dance:

Oh, how I miss ze hills und dales und vales und trails
of old Bavaria
Oh, it's such bliss to kiss the Miss I miss like this
in old Bavaria
Oh, ze meadows und ze mountains und ze sky
Not to mention hordes of brown shirts passing by...
Bring a tear to every single Nazi eye
In old - I'm talking old - Bavaria!

To make light of this frankly rather terrifying decision, how about some Papal humor! Because you don't elect a new supreme pontiff every day.

The Very Secret Diary of Joseph son of Ratzinger

A bit of silliness via Metaquotes: the inspiration for the Papal VSD and also Survivor: Conclave.

They have webcams for everything!

I'd laugh at this, but this is so much funnier. But then someone on Wikipedia does this... And this is just great.

And lastly, how to prepare Pope Benedict.

How about I leave you with an unbelievably scary monkey-thing? (And more!)
