The Pope is not hot, he’s cool..

So Pope Benedict XVI ranks just above Kim Jong Il on an internet poll about the Hottest Heads of State, which makes him second to last on the list. Given that the term “hot” can be used as a measure of sexiness, this is probably a good thing. It would be pretty weird to have a spiritual leader who was also considered to be something of dish.

But hot—used in the way the disreputable Miss Hilton uses it (hahht)—can of course also mean cool. And as things stand, he’s one of the coolest guys around.
