Divine Inspiration For Sale

According to the London Times, the Pope has announced that hencforth, and retroactively, words issued by the Pope will be copyrighted works, subject to royalties paid to the Vatican for reprints. (Thanks, Boing Boing).

Now, if you want to hear the "good word", you're gonna have to pay for it.

As the prostitutes say, "Hey, a gals gotta work!"
