# My Pope highlight
was when he claimed that gay marriage is the biggest threat to society today.

Don't know how he managed to deliver that one so deadpan. I'd have corpsed.

# Did he actually say that?

# Just looked up the exact quote
www.reuters.com/article/2012/01/09/us-pope-gay-idUSTRE8081RM20120109

He says it undermined "the future of humanity itself.", apparently.

That's a good phrase to remember when you want to moan about something you don't like, eg The excessive use of CGI in films undermines the future of humanity itself.

# one of the main features of a pope
is having a brain that's stuck in the 14th century

# I think my favourite
is that the Vatican and the Holy See are the same but different. If I've got it right (and they deliberately make it difficult) the Vatican is bound by international law and therefore entitled to UN protection and can have embassies abroad. The Holy See is not, so you cannot extradite peados. The nation can be either, depending on circumstances. According to Time magazine, their entire artwork collection is valued at ONE Euro and that includes the Sistine chapel. For tax purposes.

# Might make it awkward if they ever need to claim on the insurance

# Why bother
insuring anything irreplaceable?

Edit: I was up at the De Havilland museum the other day for work and we were talking about insurance. Apparently little of their stuff is insured. As the man said; "The place might burn down and we get a lot of money; but where do you go to buy a 1944 Mosquito bomber as a replacement?"

# The masses of money they'd get might be some compensation, mind you
They could make a load of holograms of the cars, burn the place down and claim the money, then set up the holograms with big "Do not touch the cars, WE MEAN IT SERIOUSLY" signs around them. Who could tell the difference? Not I, not I.
