well, what’s really starnge is that one of the descriptions that is bandied about regarding this “inspection” is that the pope would be naked. If he’s naked, then why would there be a need for the chair?

The story makes no sense!

The crazy things vicious hate-mongering slanderers will unquestioningly believe!

(Sue he’s naked, but they’re not ALLOWED to look!)

This is all starting to remind me of the vacuum potty episode of MythBusters.

But it’s TRUE — Alex says that there was a Pope Jeannie and it’s googlable, hence it must be true. Here’s to Pope Ellen and Alex for supporting the LGBT movement by revealing interesting historical FACTUAL lesbians and bisxuals like Eve, Nefertiti, Abe’s wife Sara, etc.

Which of course explains the double-not-ping on top of the three-times slander.

[Cronos]

True, that it does. I see you posted another one on the LGBT role model Pape Joan.

According to the article the chair is in the Vatican
Museum. You go look and come back and tell us if it
is there.

**Why else would the Church employ what is popularly known as the ‘ball-feeling chair’ if Joan had never existed?”**

Spuns like a potty chair to me.

SOUNDS like a potty chair to me.

Kudos to Alex for supporting this LGBT movement

"Not that there's anything wrong with that."

[Cronos]

Yes, my mistake to not add that in, sorry Alex.

[Cronos]

Yes, there are potty chairs stored in museums dating back to the middle ages, where elder gents could sit, and they had nice little holes cut in the seats for ahem...
