A second-hand Volkswagen Golf once owned by Pope Benedict sold for 188,938 euros ($244,800) to a U.S. buyer in frenzied online bidding, a spokeswoman for eBay in Germany said Thursday. (http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=583&e=3&u=/nm/20050506/od_nm/pope_ebay_dc)

That's the first thing I thought of.

If he knew that he was gonna be Pope he'd have kept and sold it on Ebay himself. I read that he prayed not to be the Pope. I guess God had other plans for him. I sure wouldn't waste my vote on someone that old. He'll only be around for a short while. We'll be looking for white smoke again!

Most likely it was not the car he currently owned, and even if it was, what would be the point? Making a lot of money? He would have to give it to charity, otherwise it wouldn't look good...

Yeah, it was said as tongue-n-cheek humor.:D I bet he's never been on Ebay.
