Let these memes serve as a little history lesson for you - they're definitely more interesting than sitting through a boring class!

Pope Francis became the subject of a hilarious Photoshop meme after signing a Lamborghini on November 15th. The luxury car was auctioned off to benefit Christian communities that had been affected by ISIS. We support the cause and are very grateful that someone decided to make it look like the Pope was drawing a dick on an Italian sports car.
It's only been five weeks since John Stewart left The Daily Show and it returned to the air Sept. 28 with its new host Trevor Noah.
So how did he do?
Well, there was a lot of winking.

While Pope Francis addressed Congress Sept. 24, New York City waited for his arrival. It was the perfect time to prank the Big Apple.
So, Madame Tassaud's drove around a new wax statue of the Pontiff in a convertible, leading to many turned heads, many selfies, many confused looks, many traffic snarls and at least one investigation by authorities.
Local news channel 6ABC has the story:
The wax figure of the pope was part of a publicity stunt for Madame Tassaud, which added it to its collection in advance of Pope Francis' visit to the United States. The company drove it around Midtown, hours before the pope's expected arrival.
Someone who saw the figure of the pope riding down Fifth Avenue was concerned, snapped a photo and sent it to the New York City Police Department.
Officers investigated and found that the pope wasn't really in the back of the white convertible, which hardly looked like the popemobile. The actual Pope Francis was addressing Congress at the time the replica was spotted in NYC.
No charges were filed in the incident, but Madame Tassaud personnel apologized to officers for not having a front license plate - a state motor vehicle violation.
One reporter even took a video of the goof.
This was on Columbus Avenue just now.

Sorry, New York. Not quite.
Hopefully you didn't confuse this pizza or these dogs with the real Pope either.

You might not know that the Pope is in America. Especially if you've been in a coma for the past month.
It's causing people to do some pretty intense things in the name of putting the papacy on its pedestal. Things like dressing their dogs up like the Holy See and creating emojis to welcome his visit.
Well, some pizza men in New York wanted to do something in their wheelhouse when the Pope comes to the Big Apple Sept. 25. So they put him on a pizza.
The five-hour process came from a place of respect according to local channel ABC 7:
"We want to do something special for the Pope, he's coming back to the city," said Tony Salihaj, the chef.
The highly anticipated arrival of Pope Francis in New York already has venues across the city cooking up a surprise or two.
"We decided to make an image of him the best we can," Salihaj said. "We're pizza men we're not artists."
Tony Salihaj says he came up with the papal pizza recipe along with a friend and then quickly put it into execution; with the help of mozzarella and ricotta cheese, tomatoes, anchovies, and peppers to round out the details and adornments.
"This took about five hours to make this one and lots of patience," Salihaj said.
Look at him in all of his greasy grace.
We can guess what their decision process looks like:
