There is some seriously good art in that mix!

Why a bust of a Polish pope  in Belgium?

He made an extremely dumb statement on his only visit to India, announcing
he wanted to convert the whole country. Not surprisingly, Christian
missionaries started getting killed in remote areas of India immediately
after his visit. I have always wondered about what his IQ/EQ levels
actually were!

Cheers
