Place your bets!
Apr. 18th, 2005 02:21 pmFor those of you with a sporting inclination, here's the leader board for betting on which Cardinal will become the next Bishop of Rome (aka, Pope), with links to various side bets -- his Papal name, which color the next smoke will be, etc.
Following some of the scuttlebutt previously seen, Ernest Gallo's favorite, Cardinal Mahony of Los Angeles, isn't even in the betting yet. Nor, among the names, is Sixtus, leaving His Holiness Sixtus VI of Oakland (sometimes known as Robert Silverberg) safe from further usurpation by these anti-popes. {cough}
