I don’t really know how you become Pope anyway. When the old one dies, do they go around looking for a new baby that was conceived the exact moment the old one died? No, that would be reincarnation. How do you become Pope anyway? ---

You’re going to have to gut it out, because for God’s sake, the post in question included a smilie. I am slow as molasses and even I register smilies. 😛 > [@LunaV](#): > > I was stunned when I saw Pseudo’s name in the Pit! Yeah, I still have remnant of :eek: all over me. ---

> [@pseudotriton ruber ruber](#): > > Damn! I was hoping I was getting Pitted for something I wrote or said or did or thought or actually stood for, but instead I’ve gotten Pitted for being insufficiently funny. Not insufficently funny by my lights, I laughed my ass off in the original thread. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-pit-pseudotriton-ruber-ruber/364046.md?page=2)
