"The Pope"

Is it just me who thinks he's gonna breath one last rattling gurgle, sink to his pillow...and then leap out of bed and holler "April Fool!!" before living for another 10 years?

The holiday resort?

I don't understand why some people are all so "oh no the Pope is dying". Surely the Pope would want to die and go to Heaven. Be with Jesus and all that.

It was on the News .. this morning and in a paper, I forget which one, probably the Telegraph

Are you sure? The BBC say he's still alive.

The thread reminds me of that You've Been Framed clip of the old bloke pretending to be all crap and decrepid, shakes and everything, then he springs to life and does a jig.

My point was that he's been Pope for a long time. Of course he's old.

Just because I wasn't alive doesn't mean I don't know about previous Popes, that's some baaaaad logic

and how many Popes' reigns have you been alive during?

He died of a Cardiac arrest, apparently

That means there's gonna be another Papal Enclave, maybe this time they'll elect someone who isn't nearly dead himself ...

All Popes seem to be 80 +

I could fix you too. It'd be just like Fight Club.
