what, he is?? already?? i was looking at dutch ceefax 10 seconds ago!!

(and i won a bet :D )

Seriously! Already?? I just checked cnn.com about 10 minutes ago! And you're right, Corkey..This is the right place for it..Damn..It's so strange that he's gone..I don't know why..

Hmm..None of the internet news sites have it yet..I guess I'll have to get off my ass and check it out downstairs..Oohh..If this gets in the way of my soap I am going to shoot someone!! :ticking:

It's like alot of big known people are dying this month..Jonnie Cochran, Mitch Herberg, Terri lady, and now the Pope.

Wow, that is crazy. It's weird to think that they're going to have a new Pope. Why is everyone dying?!?

he is not dead

Seriously..What's going on? Is he or not? If he's not, it'll only be a matter of hours I'm sure..

They say that death comes in threes..Since Terri wasn't an entertainer or in the public eye (at least voluntarily), the Pope will be the third, right?

Yahoo news just said "Pope reportedly dead"... so I think some news things are just slow.

"News agency recants on report of Pope's death"

That's kinda fucked up.. "Oops..Sorry all you Catholics..I was just messing with you.."

I'm watch cnn now and they are saying they closed the door of his room which means that a pope has died, but they aren't sure either...come on is he or isn't he?!?!?

apparently on italian television someone said hes braindead, but its not comfirmed. dutch tv is now saying that his dearest have gathered round his deathbed and that he is 'in the prestage of death'

(ofcourse thats not a litteral quote cause itd be in dutch and you wouldnt get it )

yeah i read that too but i guess they do that when hes dying, since the door needs to be shut when hes dead and i guess you can better shut it a bit early then do it too late, right?

I wish I had a tv in my room!!! Wait a second..No I don't..I'd never leave it..

Why is that? Is it some spiritual thing? Or just a privacy thing?

I saw the Pope :duh: I was kinda far away, but they had those big jumbo tron things... Pope-o trons.

In Pope history, when a pope dies they shut what's called the Bronze Door to indicate that a pope died.

So, what's the smoke thing again? Is that if they've chosen a new pope?

i thought it was the door of the st peter church, but i dont know for sure

yeah, they burn the voting ballots of the cardinals, black smoke is no winner, white smoke is new pope
