A few unknown facts about Pope Benedict XVI’s sojourn in New York.
The Holy Father stayed at the East 72nd street residence of
Archbishop Celestino Migliore, the papal nuncio to the United Nations.

Archbishop Migliore snarled to the assembled press,
“I won’t make that mistake again!”

While he had heard rumors about the pope’s destructive tendencies,
Archbishop Migliore was at a loss when confronted by
a two-year old hyena fresh from a kill.
It so happens that the cholera advisory is another of the pope’s put-ons.

Benedict loves his beef!
During his short stay in New York,
he consumed the equivalent of 1/2 of a Black Angus steer.
