“I hear the pope. He’s underground, right here. Dig! Dig!”
I already explained this. The pope isn’t missing, they haven’t chosen a new pope yet.
“Get a shovel. Before he gets away.”
Do you know what the pope is?

Harvard’s president says the school will ‘not compromise’ on its rights with the Trump admin
That’s fine, if I were Harvard, I wouldn’t want the government pushing me around. Money comes with strings attached, so if Harvard wants to be independent, don’t accept a half-billion dollars from the government each year.

Sparky thought he looked slick in his ninja suit. The reality didn’t match the image in his head. That’s fine, it happens to everyone.
Why does that happen so often with yoga pants?
The Bicentennial, in 1976, was a big deal. The National Park Service, probably at Yellowstone, named a bison, “Tennial”. That seemed awfully clever.
