So, as most of you know, my parental units are crazy.
As proof, I offer the next two items in my Moose collection:

(that thingey sticking out of the middle of his head is a corkscrew)

(if this stuff is any good, it'll replace Big House Red as my default wine of choice at home, just from the name *grin*)
Fun stuff. :-)

(Why Cardinal Grapje wasn't elected Pope...)
Hans Grapje was raised in a Catholic school in The Hague and, as a
young man, aspired to become a priest, but was drafted into the Army
during WWII and spent two years co-piloting B17s until his aircraft
was shot down in 1943 and he lost his left arm. Captain Grapje spent
the rest of the war as a chaplain, giving spiritual aid to soldiers,
both Allied and enemy.
After the war, he became a priest, serving as a missionary in Africa,
piloting his own plane (in spite of his handicap) to villages across
the continent. In 1997, Father Grapje was serving in Zimbabwe when an
explosion in a silver mine caused a cave-in. Archbishop Grapje went
down into the mine to administer last rights to those too severely
injured to move. Another shaft collapsed, and he was buried for three
days, suffering multiple injuries, including the loss of his right
eye. The high silver content in the mine's air gave him purpura, a
life-long condition characterized by purplish skin blotches.
Although Cardinal Grapje devoted his life to the service of God as a
scholar, mentor and holy man, church leaders agree: he will never
become Pope.
No one wants a one-eyed, one-armed, flying purple Papal leader.
