The Pope has passed away
The Pope has passed away. :( I'm not a Catholic by any stretch, but for some reason this news saddens me greatly. Maybe it's the same thing as Mother Teresa, where I just feel a sadness in seeing truly selfless people pass away. Oh well.
What's up with these deaths? Johnny Cochran passed away last week as well.
NPR reported that Frank Purdue (the chicken magnate) also passed away.
And, of course, Terri Schiavo.
Edit: Wow, look at the front page of Tabulas:

It's interesting to read the rituals they'll be performing now during the mourning period and the election of a new Pope.
They even go as far as to specify how the voting process is behind close doors, so much so that they actually sweep the Sistine Chapel searching for surveillance devices.
And leave it to me to make a blog posting that has nothing to do with the Pope.

I don't believe in that, but I find it interesting nonetheless.
