In a surprise move, Pope Benedict XVI crowned US President Barack Obama "Holy Roman Emperor" today in a rose garden ceremony.
In a statement, the Pope said "Emperor Obama follows in the footsteps of Charlemagne and the Emperor Constantine."
In other news, Chinese Premier Hu Jintao announced plans to restore the Qing dynasty, saying that Barack Obama -- a direct descendant of the last Manchu Emperor -- would be China's new Emperor.
However, Turkish officials were quick to deny widely published reports of a restoration of the Byzantine Empire. "Turks wiped out the Byzantines in 1453. There are simply no Byzantines here for Obama to be Emperor of," said a frustrated Recep Tayep Erdogan. "We'd love to crown him Emperor, but it just seems impractical."

I’ve been waiting for the “Pope” thread. I wonder how long until “America’s Next Top Model” weighs in.

If Obama’s now the Pope, and the Pope crowned Obama Holy Roman Emperor, then I guess Obama crowned himself...

Your painting reminded me would Obama even allow the Pope to crown him Emperor or just like Napoleon he would crown himself.

Appropriate, since the HRE was neither holy, Roman, nor an empire. He is neither holy, Roman nor an emperor.

Ya know, goofy as it sounds, after the Nobel Prize thing I had to click on this thread on the disturbingly non-trivial chance it might be true...

Ancient scrolls just discovered reveal that Buddha actually pronounced his enlightened title as "Bamah" and exaltations to him should contain the exclamation "Oh", as in Oh Bamah, Oh Bamah, Oh Bamah.
The Bamah also promised to return and bring the world the "Prize of Peace".
