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?

Chances are he got about a day or 2 left why bother removing him? alot of popes are popes right till the end, its the way it's done.

I personally find it highly amusing, and also an apt analogy.
Huge crowds gather to watch a tired, near-death figurehead attempt to say something meaningful, only to gasp and be wheeled back inside.
It's genius, I hope he hangs in there for another 10yrs getting more and more decrepit and mental until he's just a head in a jar that the deputy popes hold aloft on giant videoscreens for people to applaud.

There was talk of changing it so that popes had to retire at a certain age, i hope they don't change it, if i was pope i'd wanna be pope till the bitter end.

Actually, I've been reading up on Papal history recently and I was shocked to find out that they can basically abdicate the papacy. The way it works is that each pope inherits his authority directly from St Peter (the 1st pope), rather than from the previous pope.

Most of em cling onto it until the bitter end though.
