VATICAN CITY, The 4-year-old grandson of the president of Malta met Pope Francis at the Vatican and presented the pontiff with a plastic dinosaur as a gift.

Luca Abela, 4, grandson of Maltese President George Abela, met the pope Friday alongside his two siblings, the president's wife and the head of state's two adult sons, the Italian news agency ANSA reported Friday.

The young boy presented Pope Francis with a gift, a plastic dinosaur, and the pontiff took time to play with the boy and his siblings after meeting with the adults, ANSA said.

Is this a statement about creationism????

cool. pretty much any plastic dinosaur from a four year old can be a meaningful gift, making those be a keeper. put it on a shelf somewhere, or on the frame of a painting hanging on a wall...

Is that what this is about? I sure missed it.

JoeProBono how do you see this thread you posted? It seems so.... meaningless, so useless.

Just a joke...

[ansel12]

Then what is the thread about?

I was being sarcastic in my first post.

What are you trying to say? Are you trying to express a thought?

When Putin came for a visit, the kid gave him booze and broads.

Emptiness.

They could pass that one on as re-gifting to the former Tobacco Metropolitan, uh, since he's a racing fan...hehheh.

Many Westerners know little about the new Patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church Father Kirill. Many Russians know him as a great orator and a host of a weekly TV show “Pastor’s Word.” However, very few know that Kirill (Vladimir Gundyaev by passport), a billionaire and a former KGB operative, made his fortune in tobacco, alcohol, and oil sales. His activities were among the main reasons why not-for-profits in Russia lost tax-deductible status. The new Orthodox leader is fond of playing with stocks, car racing, downhill skiing, and breeding exclusive kinds of dogs. He owns villas in Switzerland and a penthouse with a view of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow.

Emptiness, you say?

Here's one for you ---> Darkness, darkness

You get what you hear..?

I remember the problem of you posting fake pictures about real and serious political issues and people that we needed to discuss here, but you really made an effort to stop that, and now, most of the photos that you seek out to post are OK, but a lot of them either seem passive/aggressive when you are angry at someone and cannot speak or express your thoughts, or useless, like this thread.
