10. Jesus Mary & Joseph! It has nothing to do w/ the Pope's death

It's a joke about all the speculation surrounding the election of the new Pope, speculating which has been going on since there was a Pope.

I looked it up, and it might be ugly, but actual BETTING on the death of the current Pope and the election of the next Pope has been going on for hundreds of years.

"In fact, the earliest reference found to wagering on the death of a famous figure comes from the Vatican. On March 21, 1591, the newly minted Pope Gregory XIV, in his Papal Bull "Cogit nos," forbade under pain of excommunication all wagering on the duration of the pontificate, i.e., when the Pope would die, as well as on the creation of new cardinals and the election of a new pope. Such wagering had reached epidemic proportions in the Curia Romana, the body of congregations, offices and permanent commissions that assist the pope in the government and administration of the Church.

In in for $5 on Ted Crilly, myself....

11. It doesn't?

It would have made NO sense to post it, had the Pope not died, so it has a great deal to do with his death...
