Professor Guy here, reporting in Vatican City
which has just declared war on area man, Red, for laying claim to the moon, now known controversially as Red Base One.
That's correct. We prefer to refer to it as the moon. We don't recognize the legitimacy of Mr. Red's claims.
So Mr. Pope can we expect the papal guard to murder Red at any moment now?
I'm afraid not. You see, he has a cannon in his backyard
powerful enough to fire a flag into the moon.
Well we're not sure what would happen if he turned that on the earth, but we're concerned about the collateral so instead...
We've opted to build a giant ladder.
Yes, I did notice that. In fact, I believe everyone who can see the skyline... Viewers, those of you in the studio,
you can probably see this giant ladder that extends endlessly into the sky.
Our plan is to climb to the moon, then knock down Red's flag, which prevents him from saying that he owns the Moon.
Good heavens! Lightning has just struck the ladder!
Hordy vordy garsen vindinkinlin!
And it would appear that everyone involved in the project...
Hang on. I'm getting confirmation. Yes, everyone involved in the project now speaks a different language.
It's the Tower of Babylon all over again! Mr. Pope,
I imagine that you must feel very embarrassed right now. You of all people should have known the history of building tall structures.
Oh... Hordy vordy vorkiden...
See? That's why I work alone. That kind of thing could never set me back.
You don't work alone. You work with me all the time.
I guess you're right. I suppose that's why I work alone and also get nagged a lot.
