New Pope Benedict XVI ElectedAndy
Pope Benedict XVI
The Washington Post is reporting that the successor to Pope John Paul II has been elected. (I'm not linking to the Vatican's web site as it's slow enough as it is right now.) German Cardinal Ratzinger was chosen in the fourth ballot on the second day of conclave. In an effort to not be a parrot, I'll refer you to the link above for further information. You might also want to read Wikipedia's article. Forgive spelling "Pope" as "Pop", this keyboard doesn't always register keypresses. I had thought I proofread it.

My dad worked/went there too. It'd be great to see you there if I decided to go there. (Which is likely.)

Does anyone else agree?TI Freak
If you look at the pic, and look at his eyes, does it give anyone else a feeling of... evil? I am not trying to be judgemental, but I just keep getting this bad feeling everytime I look at that picture...

Indeed. You shouldn't judge people by how they look. Then again, there are those "gut feelings" that people have... I don't know, though. I think he's going to do the best he can.
