AIDS Can Fight AIDS
dptalia writes "Scientists at the University of Pennsylvania have announced that they have engineered a strain of the AIDS virus that fights AIDS. This strain of AIDS works like a vaccine and improved the immune system of the test subjects. After three years on this new therapy, no side effects have been observed."
A guy takes his ill and aging wife in to the doctor's office.
After a full examination, the doc tells the guy it's one of two things.
The Doc says, "Well, it's either Alzheimers disease or AIDS."
"What do you mean!" The guy says, "Can't you tell the difference?"
"Well, says the Doc, the two look a lot alike in the early stages... Tell you what ya do...Drive her way out into the country, kick her out of the car, and if she finds her way back, - don't have sex with her anymore!"
Have you ever seen a Presidential debate?
Nature has already done it.

Like the highlander, and perhaps siamese fighting fish, there can be only one Pope.
Look to the history of the anti-popes: the poor losers in the pope-Pope debates. As fortunes (and armies) shift some popes have been deemed anti-popes after a time as pope, only to be re-pope'd after they (or a friend) regained the papacy. History has been ambivalent about certain popes - switching between pope* and anti-pope as many as six times over centuries of historical debate.
Personally, I've always been afraid my Pope will dash himself senseless against the mirror.
PS: I certainly wouldn't be one to criticise the Holy See's position on AIDS. Considering what they'll do to each other, I am truly terrified of the treatments for mere lay-people.
* er - the one I am thinking about is still under serious consideration for a re-instatement. This would mean that it should be capitalized: 'switching between Pope and anti-pope'.
