A bizarre development in archeological findings was unearthed during routine repair work in Vatican City, it emerged yesterday.
Previous assumptions of a clay-based foundation to the Holy See's residence were thrown into disarray last night when it became known that the geological base of the Roman area appears to contain vast quantities of prophylactic sediment, raising the theory that the entire city of Rome, has in fact been built on condoms.
The Italians are also worried about the safety of other architectural icons, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, Saint Peter's Basilica in Rome, and even the ruins of the Colosseum, the ancient Roman amphitheatre.
Meanwhile Italy's Health Minister Girolamo Sirchia has tried to reassure public opinion that while the government is fully aware of the dangers of possible subsidence, there is no point in being alarmist.
