Happy Easter everyone. A weird holiday really. Religiously, it's the most important holiday of the year, yet for some reason it is not even close to the magnitude of Christmas we see celebrated by people all over the world each year. I guess people just love presents. Either way, it's Easter.Pope Benedict is celebrating his first Easter in office at the Vatican and will be delivering his first ever Easter blessing as Pope. He said he was excited leading up the occasion. I suppose he would. He really doesn't seem to get outside much besides standing on his balcony to wave to people once a day.
Thousands of pilgrims have made the journey to Rome to hear the Pope talk today. I never really understood why Catholics did that. I mean, the Pope's just a normal guy who happens to be in charge of something. I love computers, but I wouldn't travel all the way to Rome to hear Bill Gates deliver an Easter blessing. Now if it was someone important, like Jesus or something, then I could understand going there. Anyone who can taking a beating like he did and still manage to stick around for 2000 years is worth traveling halfway around the world to see. But not the Pope. Just look at that guy's picture. He's just plain creepy. Like Emperor Palpatine trying to do that lightning trick with his hands... without so much success.

There is a striking resemblance to Palpatine. except the pope is creepier-lookin. And he dresses fancier. and hes catholic. and he cant manipulate the force...i guess they're pretty different...

Palpatine is catholic.
I'm pretty sure if you can do magic and aren't jesus, they kick you out of being catholic. jesus didnt get the boot, but i mean he did get nailed to a cross and stuff. Moral: don't piss off the catholics.
