text: when the pope plays tennis does his holiness still wear that cool hat? does he have an unfair advantage with, well you know; god and the direct line of comunication and all? he's an old grouchy german dude who just happens to be the pope.  not only does he still wear the hat, but he'll sooo whip your shiny white with it if you get any funny ideas about that overhand, mister.  keep in mind, god prefers cricket, so he may kind of doze off while the pope is playing tennis.  i doubt the pope gets an unfair advantage because of this unless he was going to get sneaky and cheat. but i kind of think god would know anyways.  unless, of course, the wind is just right.  then the hat could be an advantage to itself, much like a sailboater's sail!  get a little pontifical patewear action going in there and he could really go, i bet!  hmmmm.....  i'll just have to say 'i don't know anything for sure, but the pope does still wear the hat while playing tennis.'  hope i cleared some stuff up for you there.  ~morg~
