Spanish Knights Templar Heirs Sue Pope For 150 Billion Dollars

I am not kidding. “The Association of the Sovereign Order of the Temple of Christ”, in Spain claims direct lineage to the Knights Templar (ca.1100 – 1300CE). The group is “calling for [Pope Benedict XVI] to recognise the seizure of assets worth 100 billion euros (£79 billion).” --Quoted from the Telegraph.co.uk

I found some groovy public domain images on WikiMedia Commons to mashup, and I couldn’t resist. Even though I should be working on other things, I was compelled to blog about it. The headline really made me laugh right out loud! You can hear a three minute interview with the Telegraph journalist on NPR.

My Grandpa always told me, “Procrastination’s the thief of time.” Ain’t that the truth!

LOL.

Ok... my all time favorite line is, "You can't expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart throws a sword at you." Closely followed by, "Your mother is a hamster and your father smells of elderberries... now go away or I shall taunt you a second time."

What's your favorite?

Maybe I should return to my ancestral homeland of Scotland and find a girl with HUUUUUGE tracts of land

Let the spankings begin. So where do you think the grail is hidden?

A thought just came to mind--I wonder if there is a statute of limitations on land seizures and burnings at the stake?

Nooo, it's just a grail shaped beacon

I think so. Is your passport in order? =)

My father was a 33rd degree Mason, so I know where the Grail is, too. It's in the Castle Anthrax guarded by naughty Zoot!

Hey, wait a minute! As a former state officer of the Order of DeMolay which took its core values from the Knights Templar (and yes, I know where the Grail is), does that mean I have to appear as a witness?

They can't possibly be serious, it must be a ploy to gain attention or get new members.

I don't think Jesus Christ was the type to sue somebody. Didn't he say something about turning the other cheek?

I still laugh whenever I think about it, though, so I must thank TASOTOC wholeheartedly for this goofy topic to bring up if there is a lull in a conversation.

Sound to me, also, like they (TASOTOC) are also functioning as a child of the new millineum and trying to milk someone, anyone for all they are worth.
