Thumbs up So when will the pope croak?

Any predictions on when he�ll meet his maker ?

I personally think he will not see Xams.


Sorry if on the wrong forum please move to the joke zone in if necessary

They'll pillow him within seven days.

He's been ridden hard lately and now has finally served up the cardinals.

Bye Karol, great show.

I am not Catholic, but I am human and I am an adult.

I do not understand the inhuman, childish, approach that the previous posters have expressed on the subject of another fellow human's death.

Surely they are not a prime example of what it is to be an atheist?

Atheism is merely the non-belief in deities.

It is not a dogma.

You, Stormy, will find a vast wealth of personalities in this world. Some of whom will tickle your fancy with sarcasm and satire, while others may strike you as offensive.

Theism has very little to do with these perspectives.

Let a fart out now and again, it's good for your sensibilities.

He has Parkinsons. It could go on for many years. There are all sorts of nuances that could occur such as dementia or even conditions where its hard to tell if he has dementia or not.

You mean like his tenure as the Pope?

Yes, I've seen some news stories about how he is in a "bad way" and how his physical condition is deteriorating. But there isn't enough in public to enable us to reasonably predict how long he will last.

Default Futures Markets

I wonder if the US gob't has a futures market in the Pope's croaking. I hear they are wickedly accurate. Wouldn't surprise me, they already have futures in other MVP's deaths and such...
