The test for Pope - An excellent idea, since we have often elected politicians with the needed equipment. I wonder how Margret Thatcher would have done on this test ?

Bwahaha - that is great! If you ever watched Lexx: The Dark Zone - there was an episode with a woman becoming the pope - she was a south florida realtor - it was hilarious. scifisuzi.com sadgeezer.com “Hey everybody, I’m the Pope!” Exclaims the ecstatic Ms Rhoda (as though she’d won the lottery), “I’m the Pope. I ain’t no joke, I offer hope, wine, wafers and water and wine.” She sings, “Kiss my ring and cross my heart!” Most of us of course, know the lovely Ms. Rhoda as the deliciously diabolical Giggerotta (played by Ellen Dubin). It turns out that the holier than thou dudes in the Cardinals Collage wanted to avoid the acrimonious feelings associated with choosing a member of the Collage and decided to pick a name randomly from a newspaper. Unfortunately, the only newspaper in the Vatican at the time was the real-estate section of the Miami Herald. There you see, completely understandable if you think about it.
