Bookmark and Share
Stupid people always complain about how hard it is to discover something or invent something or remember what time Gilmore Girls is on. And smart people, I'm told, watch PBS and listen to NPR. If they were so smart, they'd like things cool enough to have more than three letters. Like pot.

Jupiter, Pete, and Bob were walking down a busy city street.

"It sure is great to be here visiting scenic Rome," said Pete breezily, as the three entered the heart of the Vatican. "And it's great that your grand-uncle got us tickets to see the Pope."

Bob's grand-uncle was a famous Cardinal, which is a special helper for the Pope. The Pope is the head of the Roman Catholic Church, directly appointed by God to be in charge of everything.
