Vatican Olympic Team

Yikes! I was just kidding about a Vatican Olympic Team but it seems that it is at least being officially considered:

The Vatican’s new sports department is to pursue contacts with the international sports federations and Olympic committees. However, it seems unlikely that the sports department will eventually follow the lead of Kiribati and enter an Olympic team. “Not yet,” a surprised voice from the Pontifical Council for Lay People said. “This office of the Church and sport is just beginning. I don’t know about the future.”

Follow the link - I find humor in the fact that the Vatican story is a substory after a discussion of women from Great Britain not being pretty enough to make the pages of Playboy. As an added note - "Magic Sponge" has to be the greatest pen name of all time!
