Remember, betting on the next pope is an excommunicable offence:
Ha! I'm not Catholic. They can excommunicate me all they want.
Well, look at you. All dressed up in big sister's clothes.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sean, you're sposed to flip to a random page.
The real question is whether the book is now available in digital format.

Thanks! He's ok generally, but still very fussy at night. I'm working on another 4 hours of sleep again today after a 2 am crying jag. Anyone know a good exorcist?
4 hours? You guys aren't doing it right. See, you sleep in shifts. Mom goes to bed at 9 and you have baby-patrol until 2am. Then she's on duty from 2-7. That guarantees each of you 5 hours plus. The plus being anytime you have the baby sleeping on your shift.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
From Reuters:
VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Italian media gave contradictory reports about Pope John Paul's vital signs on Friday, first saying his heart and brain activity had stopped and then reporting this was not true.
There was no official comment from the Vatican.
The first reports, picked up by the state broadcaster RAI, said his electrocardiogram had gone flat. The ADNkronos news agency said monitoring showed his brain activity had halted.
But Sky Italia television later quoted Vatican sources saying both his brain and heart were still functioning.

What happens after the Pope dies?
I find the part where the cardinal calls his baptismal name three times and then strikes him with a hammer (which has the papal seal on it) on the forehead, just to make sure he's really, really dead.

What is even happening?
CNN reports that the AP reports that the Vatican denies the Pope has died.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Well, I think his real name is Pope John Paul, just as Elizabeth HP is my real name now, although I was born Elizabeth H.
I wonder what his drivers license says?

There is only one explanation: There must be two Popes.
