Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

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?
The date stamp on ita's link indicates exactly what amych said. Think it was the first vote this morning.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
It says that there was a bit of white smoke and then black smoke, so people were confused.
It says it was posted at 10:19 this morning, so I'm thinking that's EST? Cause there are bells going off, too, which PJPII decreed be done when they had in fact chosen a Pope so there was no confusion.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The story just disappeared from Google news. I guess I'm unconfused again.

If I only had a brain...
That was Monday, ita. Today they not only had the smoke, they rang the bells; part of JPII's plan to make sure it was unambiguous.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Massive prior no-Pope confusion x-post....

Ann, that's a ferret.

You'll talk about math, and I will slounge and say, "Huh." And then we will let ita fight crime for us.
Can we kick some heads, too?

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I knew that McKinley was assassinated because I did Scholar's Bowl all through middle and high school, and we tried to learn interesting factoids that came in fours, because they were popular bonus questions. (Lincoln, Kennedy, and Garfield being the other three. And I had to look up Garfield just now.)
