Sin City for Nuns

Nobody Flashes Anymore!

Today, while the Pope was celebrating his birthday at the White House with President Bush...the nuns were told that they could take the day off, and have some fun...

Here we see sister Maria rearranging the furniture and statures at the Vatican, with a new software program...called "Sin City for Nuns."

After which she played "Pin the Tail on the Devil" for an hour...

After which she placed a few bets on "The Kentucky Derby." Betting is allowed on Pope's birthdays, as long as you give all your winnings to the church.

Actually, the reason I love this picture is the fact that this nun does the same thing that every person in my family has done since we were kids....bite our tongues when we're concentrating...

I, of course (cough, cough) gave up the habit at ten...but my brother STILL does it, especially when he is playing DOOM. My brother is 57 years old.

So, send a prayer for my poor brother...and for the Pope, and our soldiers in Iraq, and Bruce Springsteen, (who came out for Obama in Philadelphia tonight, so he needs it) and all the nuns everywhere.

Without all the nuns in the world praying daily for us all, Las Vegas odds say that things would probably be much worse.
