Yep, Bored

[mamadeb]

I'm alone at the office. No bosses, no agents. The phone is, at the moment, silent. I have no pending work - in fact, before one boss left, I asked him if he needed me to do something because I had no work, and he said, "Tomorrow."

Which means I have nothing to do.

Entertain me.

Please?

Or I'll be forced to do something drastic. Like troll through ff.net.

Not yet announced. We should know shortly. All we know is bells and white smoke so far. Watch the news sites; it will be their top story

It's Ratzinger.

Not who I was expecting, but I'm bad at handicapping these things.

Benedict XVI. I wonder if it means something - and it's going to be odd getting used to a different name.

That's the German one? The one who's in favor of more de-centralization of the church?

There's a Wikipedia entry already. Love that 21st century speed.

Apparently, there's this Prophecy of St. Malachy (http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2005/4/3/180901.shtml") which lists 112 from his time on. There are two (now one) left. The 111th prophecy says:

The 111th prophecy is "Gloria Olivae" (The Glory of the Olive). The meaning of the olive is unclear. The Order of Saint Benedict – not St. Malachy – has claimed that this pope will come from its ranks and Saint Benedict himself prophesied that before the end of the world his Order, known also as the Olivetans, will triumphantly lead the Catholic Church in its final fight against evil.

Makes his name choice very interesting indeed.
