The Official Papal Skateboard has Been Chosen

That's right, Pope Benedict will now be able to skateboard all he wants at St. Peter's Square. The votes are in and Krystal Melendez is the winner of the Papal Skateboard Contest. It may look familiar. Not only is it the Papal insignia, but we posted it here some time ago. It was my personal favorite, and the favorite of four out of seven in the Drake household.
