Not sure whether it was a serious story or not because I just caught the tail end of it, but supposedly you can bet on the likely successor to Benedict. Right now, the favorite seems to be a black cardinal from Ghana. Next, is a cardinal from Canada. Damn degenerate gamblers will bet on anything including horses, dogs, who will be the next Pope, etc.

Is there some sort of point system? I really understand what they did as a two year old is not that important.

I would like to see the dosages on these, and also check for any linebreeding.
Saw a cartoon floating around the gist of it being that the present Pope gave up being pontiff for Lent!
