Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
the address is benedictxvi@vatican.va
pope@vatican.va was taken?
I'm more confused by the number. Unless they know something they're not telling the general public, benedicti through benedictxv aren't checking their email very often these days.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The Pope has an email server with a connection to heaven.

If there's no broadband in Heaven, I don't wanna go. IJS.

Now tagless for your comfort.
My husband, of all people, sent me this: [link]
I've got a cross stitching friend that is going to LOVE that. And hopefully stitch the Bitch Bitch Bitch one for me.

The sordid tale of a desperate penguin
The TV housewives of Wisteria Lane have got nothing on this widow, who stole her neighbors' husbands, fell into the flippers of a younger male, and now is winging it as a single mom.
First she thoroughly breached all sense of propriety among her penguin peers by stealing spouses, brawling with another female and seducing an uninitiated adolescent male.
Now, separated from the rest of the Brookfield Zoo colony, Zurita has likely become the world's first successful single-parent penguin, raising a chick fathered by a much younger companion who can't be bothered to help out.
Her soap-opera story has delighted zookeepers, who believe that in watching Zurita they have gleaned important insights into improving the husbandry and genetic diversity of captive Humboldt penguins.
....
With Zorro gone and no available male in the colony, Zurita began looking for love in the wrong places, by soliciting males already spoken for.
One ended up giving her a fertile egg, but when keepers discovered the male was Zurita's cousin, they took the egg away to avoid the dangers of inbreeding. Still, Zurita continued to look for male conquests.
She continued to solicit males from established pairs," Broniewicz said.
When she approached a male named Popero, his mate, Bumblebee, confronted Zurita in a violent tussle.
Penguins have sharp beaks and a strong bite, and the two females went after each other's faces, trying to cut each other and pounding away with their powerful wing flippers.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sure.

Yeah, I have my doubts about that part....

Sure
Yeah. The first in captivity, they mean.

Oh brave new world. It really didn't take long at all, did it?

the address is benedictxvi@vatican.vaWhat salutation would you use to write a letter to the pope, anyhow?
