Only a year after ascending to the papacy, Pope Benedict XVI is appealing the College of Cardinals for a name change. 'Benedict is serviceable enough, but I did not consider the ease of it being shortened to 'Ben' by impudent dignitaries such as Bono, nor did I foresee the difficulties it would pose whenever I ordered eggs,' the former Cardinal Ratzinger said Monday. 'I obviously wouldn't go with John Paul or Pius. Boniface is a non-starter, but there is precedent for a Pope Lando, Corwin, or Marcellus.' The pope admitted that when he chose his papal name he was mostly concerned with avoiding the nickname 'Nazinger.'
