Eggsit Benedict: Pope's Resignation Sparks Meme Frenzy

Pope Benedict XVI announced his retirement today, marking the first time in 600 years that a Pope has stepped down from his religious office.

In other words, the Pope quit (Anyone else wondering what his pension plan looks like?).

It's like Benedict was giving the Internet a late Christmas present, because what more do we all love than a historic event -- shrouded in mystery -- to meme about?

Let the religious punning commence!
