Sometimes, it's better to go on a diet first, THEN start exercising.

No Easter would be complete without...
Veteran HamsterFans knew that His Holiness was going to show up somewhere in this series. One of the great things about being Pope at Easter is that you get to show off your neat throne collection. Observe:
Of course, by custom, the Pope goes to Castelgandolfo to rest the week after Easter.
Sitting on thrones all week can, apparently, take a lot outta ya! It's true. The Hamster knows this.

Post-Easter Musings #2
Apparently an ancient folk custom in Romania. But if you ask me, its just plain creepy! "Hi boys and girls, and welcome to Stephen King's Easter Egg Hunt!"

Post-Easter Musings #1
For some reason, with Easter this year, I began to notice some really quite odd happenings that take place in connection with the event. So, being Wicked and all, I thought I'd run a little series on the peculiarities I came across.
Let's start with a curious picture of some folk from one of the penitents' societies common in Hispanic culture:
Hey, whatever floats your boat and all. But what is the purpose of taking a picture of people you can't even recognise? "That's aunt Mildred, second from left, under the sheet; and that's little Bobby on the right, under the sheet, isn't he cute and he's grown so much over the past year! And that's..." I mean, really, what's the point?

Squirrel Trek
What with the volcano and all, We have been carefully monitoring Squirrel's journey to Anchorage at Our Global Monitoring Station via satellite. We want to make sure he gets home for Baby Squirrel's big day! We have put forces on alert in case it becomes necessary to send in a team to extract him.

An Odd Situation
For those of you who perhaps haven't been following the mightiest spectacle in all of sport -- I refer, of course, to the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament -- I thought I would remark on the peculiar situation the Fates have dealt me this time. In the next round, the East Regional Semi-Finals, my undergraduate alma mater, Villanova, will be playing my graduate alma mater, Duke. That's never happened to me before. I will end up rooting for Duke, because that's the institution from which I have the higher degree, and... well... I'm a snob. But either way, I win. I like that kind of situation.

Diplomatic Gaffe!
No one told the First Lady of Cameroon about the rule that you don't wear a fancier hat than the Pope. A shocking breach of etiquette!

Just another manic Monday...
"Somebody left their lunch in the frig in the break room over the weekend; I need to remind you that's a potential health hazard. The copier on the 2nd floor is broken, and the guy's been called. They'll be installing the new hand-dryers in the cardinals' restroom Thursday. OK, any other announcements? Then lets get out there people and save some souls!"

My Favorite Martian
Rushing out of the palace the other day, the Pope forgot his skullcap. Luckily he was able to levitate it out of his room and on to his head with a mere wave of his hand. Dang! The perks that come with that job!

Yesterday, all the ice had melted and the streets weren't even wet. Crap! Crap, I say!
