Hello Escapists!
My sister is flying to Roma and will visit the vatican for a day. I gave her a 100$ bill and told her that I want her to buy me some souvenirs from there... But my mind is blank as to what I should as her to get.
The place is beautiful with paintings, sculptures and colorful windows from ages ago but I can't travel with them. I figured that I could ask her to buy me a statute of St. Peter, but besides that I really don't know what else I could ask her to buy.
Maybe you know better?
Drop in and help me.

When I went I got a little glass thing which had scratches in the inside that formed a 3D model of roman landmarks, including St Paul's. There's a souvenir shop to the right of the main entrance to St Paul's where you can get them, I don't know if they're available anywhere else.

Hur Hur, so funny, I can't stop laughing.
You have nothing interesting to say, do you?
fine, Get her to buy a print of the painting St Jerome in The Wilderness, it is an unfinished Da Vinci and may well be one of the most inflammatory but unknown pieces of art in the world, depicting the hermit jerome, beating himself with a rock in penance,gazing at a crucifix. He is counterposed against a lion that seems to be the more peaceful figure of the two. It is often considered to be an allegory about the brutality of faith

Tell her to bring back the pope.

Once hes there? I dunno, make him watch gay porn or something. For now, just concentrate on getting your sister to bring him to you.

A 100 dollar condom? Now what would that look like?
Something like this... [http://mrmitchellofficial.com/archives/258]

OT: if they have any replica paintings, I'd get one of those. A small statue would be pretty good as well though.

A print of a painting is a good idea, I'm not sure about how my sister would choose one for me...

Thanks for the trojan bro.

(My antivirus blocked but yeah. I dunno if it was a false positive but Avast went haywire.)
Sorry, the site seemed legit. It's most probably a false positive, but I don't have any way to verify it as I'm on Linux. What did the message say?

If you buy a crucifix from the gift shop you can ask that it be blessed by the Vatican. That's a pretty handy anti vampire ward, and has saved my life countless times.

I doubt my sister will go through the entire procedure, but it still sounds awesome.

You just say at the register "I'd like to have this blessed as well" and they return it to you later in your visit. I think that's how I remember it going down, wasn't any hassle at all.

I will ask her about that... She's not very comfortable with buying me Christian memorabilia to begin with.

I thought the thread was about things to get from the Vatican gift shop. I assumed Christian memorabilia was on the list, ha.

It was, it's just that she would need to go through something other than taking an item and paying for it in the register.

Fuck christianity, this is about self-defense against vampires!

OT: I'm an atheist. Why the fuck does having a cross blessed by a priest seem so appealing to me. It might have something to do with how the mind processes value, shit I don't know.

Anyway get the cross. I may not believe in god, but if Jesus was a real person he at least taught (mostly) for people to be nice to eachother. The cross is his symbol and as a result symbolises that. Well to most people it symbolises christianity but wearing the stupid thing makes my mom happy and this is probably an excuse I made to myself so I could get her to shut up about not believing in god, but one can pretend can't one?

(get the cross)

MSE did the exact same thing; Details said it came form a Javascript and the location of the suspended file was in my internet cache.

Is this topic REALLY the place to discuss this?

The Emperor Protects, premium latex.

How about a model cathedral or similar?
