What is the pope thinking?

Apparently, Pope Benedict XVI has left Washington, because he was spotted in Australia for a massive Roman Catholic festival called “World Youth Day.” However, it is not the fact that anyone celebrates kids that is shocking, it is the pope’s actions, which had little to do with the youth of the world.

Hold on to your butts: Pope Benedict met with a koala. Not much is known about what the pope and the beast talked about, perhaps the Holy Father is trying to enter peace talks circumventing the traditional authorities, or perhaps he was trying to broker a cease fire. Nevertheless, the pope’s actions are bordering on treason in the War on Animals. This is just the latest attempt of Big Religion to get involved in the ongoing strife.

Fun fact: The pope sends texts messages like a middle school girl, albeit a very devout one.

Pilgrims also received a second mobile phone text message from Benedict: “The Holy Spirit gave the Apostles and gives u the power boldly 2 proclaim that Christ is risen! – BXVI.”

Catholic guy goes jogging, runs in traffic

In the rock-paper-scissors world of jogging, biking and hiking, cars are the dynamite.Most people out there don’t mind jogging. After all, it’s lightweight enough on the body and you have at least a 50 percent less chance of not being beaned in the head by a weight bar. But hey, if you’re into increasing the challenge, then by all means, go for it! Carry that weight bar while you’re running! Eat those fu-gu (blowfish) organs while jogging! By gum, this is America, and you’re proud!

Just keep in mind that the religious pilgrims of Poland have got you beat. How so, you may ask? They do their running in traffic, and while toting a trailer, no less! Carrying a converted luggage roof box, a jogger went out onto a major German highway. Some may think that this was a bit extreme, but hey, he was just using it to make his way back from a trip that he taken as far as Portugal. No harm, no foul, right?

OK, maybe there’s a lot of harm, and plenty of foul.

Remember people, running in traffic is not the proper way to get in shape. If, however, you’d be interested in finding out exactly how to get in shape, well, look no further than this very website.
