In no sort of tribute, our quiz team name was He's Poped His Clogs.

that's pretty good.

When we were in a quiz last year, around the time those chinese cockle pickers died in morecombe, our quiz team name was Morecombe and Tides. Arf.

My friend came up with this as an idea for the selection process of a new Pope...



...Bah, I'm sorry.

She could have made an effort with it.

Sadly, I made the same joke when he had the health scare before this deathly one, at least a month ago. It's also on that bitch website, popbitch.

<sadistic chuckle>

So the new Pope is appointed, Joseph Raltzinger becoming Benedict XVI (16th, idiots).

Points of interest, not that there are many:

- He's the oldest Pope in over 100 years.
- So it doesn't look like he's in for the long run.
- The Cardinals have chosen Raltzinger looking to stick with a Pope in favour of good ol' tradition, refraining thus far from a more modern, younger Pope.

So Pope Idol is over for another few years, but ITV viewers should fear not: The Archbishop of Cantebury heads the panel for the new series of: The Cross Factor starting soon.

The method for selecting pope is great white smoke and bells= new pope elected.Black smoke= no elected pope.Shame fires dont decriminate in their smikage and alot of people thought it was white on the first night.78 seems old but with anything it takes so long to gain the respect needed to become a pope that they are often old when they get the job.I laughed out loud when radio 5 descibed him as a young and vibrant pontif!
