And where was Father Guido Sarducci?!
Yes, Mardi Gras is Tuesday. I think the clowns, tumblers and confetti was supposed to represent Carnivale. (but I wouldn't have known that if I hadn't read it this afternoon.)
Still trying to find the Pope in the pizza.
Oh, OK. So, even without masks, it was a Fellini-esque Carnivale. (Thanks for the spelling reminder; I was in Brasilian mode, I guess!) Oookkkaay.
