Cyberspace Saint!

Vatican - The Vatican has announced that it is considering the appointment of St. Isidore of Seville, a former bishop, as the Patron Saint of computers. St. Isidore compiled a 20-volume encyclopedia before his death in 599.

"We have to keep up with the times," Cardinal Incisor professed. "We have been ignoring those frustrated PC and Mac users for years."

St. Isidore, himself, was less than enthusiastic about his newfound prominence. "Crap! Hey, I have been dead for almost a millennium and a half," he complained. "Leave me alone."

Apparently, the saint's supporters have produced a resume that includes God as a reference. "Most computer users utter my Son's name when their favourite machine freezes," God admitted. "Jesus doesn't have the time to answer all those calls."

Cyber-saint's neighbours aren't too happy either. "This is a nice, quiet 'retirement' village. Now Izzy's phone will be ringing at all hours of the eternity," whined St. Christopher (Ret.).

Despite the controversy, the Vatican has requested a hotline number from Vatican Tel. Call 1-800-*&%-!@#$, some restrictions apply.
