da freakin' pope...
alright here's me posting a completely unsupported rumor that i'm too lazy to fact-check, but which was reported to me by this guy at work who's into jesus i think, so i think he might know what he's talking about. so what he said was that the pope's request has been that in order to verify he is still alive, they have to say his baptismal name to him and tap him on the head three times. that's it.
ummmmmmmm....
what happened to prolonging life? when the highest authority of the catholic church decides that doctors should decide he's dead via a test that he would fail if he drank a little too much wine at communion and dozed off good? fuck, my grandpa has parkinsons' and he would fail that test when he was awake.
i'm all for his right to die in peace and whatnot. but couldn't his church get a consistent position?

i can only hope they bring back the old hebrew tradition of using hashish as incense.
oh, yeah, and i've been informed that i was a bit off. in fact they say his name to him and wait 5 minutes, and then say it again and wait another 5, then they hit him over the heart with a silver hammer. THEN he's dead.
does anyone else feel as though the meaning of "maxwell's silver hammer" is somewhat clearer now?
