I'm kinda wondering what all will happen at my school when the pope dies. More masses? A day off for mourning?

I wasn't in Catholic school when the last pope died but when our diocese's bishop died when I was in (Catholic) H.S. we got the day off. Way to make a bunch of kids go "WOOOOT" at your death.

On the CBC they said he received the anointing of the sick, not last rites. They are different, right? I haven't forgotten everything?

At least you get a few fond thoughts as you go.

Exactly! I want to see if I can arrange something like that at my passing. Like endow a day off at my old high school.

That would be ... well, nifty.

Huh. I have realized just now that tomorrow is April Fool's Day, and once again I have forgotten to plan an elaborate fannish prank to properly celebrate the day.

... or did I?

My coworkers are fairly prank-happy people. I'll kill them if they try anything.

No, no -- instead I think that when my spidey sense tells me that I'm about to be pranked, I'll just say, in that casually bored tone of a friendly neighborhood sociopath, "I can crash the servers, you know."

I think last rites falls under annointing of the sick.

I think there is only one of my co-workers that would be prone to attempting pranks. If he tries anything, I will hiss at him and wave a 9" hatpin in his face.

I think I'll tell my boss I'm pregnant again.

snerk Lately, my kids are always asking, "Or did I?" in a nefarious voice, after just about everything they say. I see you've gotten to them.
