I thought J2P2 was the guy who hung out with C3PO. 
Yeah, dude. Christ: 3 Persons in One.
More papal death protocol: the cardinal who taps the pope with the hammer calls out to him by his birth name. I’m probably going to mangle the spelling horribly, but IIRC it’s Karol Wojtyla.
After they call his name and tap him three times, he’s offically dead.
I’ve always presumed that this ritual dates back to the days when everyone was afraid of being buried alive.
Did anyone pick PopeJP, Terri Shiavo, and Frank Purdue in the sdmb death pool?
I think nearly everybody picked JPII in the Death Pool.
You know, there’s really only one response to being buried alive.
At a time that is personally so sad for me, I could use some decent humor to help me out.
Thanks Tuckerfan
I haven’t read any of this, but tonight we were discussing Jesse jackson getting involved in Schiavo case, and someone mentioned he was throwing his hat in the ring on this cause. “Keep Pope alive!” would be his rallying cry.
Okay, folks . . . let’s not start threads announcing the death of the Pontiff until he has in fact died.
