How uh, utterly "shocking." Who would've ever thought that lying in bed with the Vatican could give you fleas. +Fellay has apparently never heard of Aesop:
The Farmer and the Snake
One winter, a farmer found a snake, stiff and frozen with cold. The farmer had compassion on it, and taking it up, placed it in his bosom. The snake was quickly revived by the warmth, and resuming its natural instincts bit its benefactor, inflicting on him a mortal wound. "Oh," cried the farmer with his last breath, "I am rightly served for pitying a scoundrel."
