A Death in Rome

When I called my 93 year-old, Italian, Roman-Catholic grandmother in Brooklyn to talk about The Pope's passing, she said "He was a good man. A good man. I really had a thing for him."
I forgot to mention that I've been hoping for this moment so I could win back the $20 I wagered on his death. OH THE SHAME.
Who will go next?? Whitney Houston?
This isn't our official Dead Pool site is it? I forget.
What gives, where's all the commentary and PONTIFICATION?
