[Gonz]

CNN?

 

[Nixy]

CNN?

It is a matter of time thou.

 

[Nixy]

ABC..

 

[Gonz]

He died...I'm watching the live shot at the Vatican. It's just not been made official.

 

[Professur]

Not finding any confirmation of that, Gonz.

 

[Nixy]

Not finding any confirmation of that, Gonz.

As of 1:43 CNN is still claiming that he's alive

 

[Gonz]

Italian media gave contradictory reports about Pope John Paul's vital signs on Friday, first saying his heart and brain activity had stopped and then reporting this was not true... Developing...

 

[Professur]

Just rung off with the missus. CBC is saying he's passed.

Edit, she just called back. He's not dead yet.

 

[catocom]

I guess it depends on what your perception of dead is.

 

[A.B.Normal]

That darn Pope,the consumate April Fooler until the end.

 

[Gonz]

They have to deal with PR at this point. Making almost everything suspect. The first reports & the following actions at the Vatican are likely the way it happened. Now they have to funnel information & jack around for awhile.

OK. I'm disappointed with myself that that made me laugh.

I keep think of that Monty Python sketch about Mary, Queen of Scots...

What about "Our top story tonight; Generalissimo Frncisco Franco is still dead"

 

[Winky]

Oh Crap what is this "death-watch month"?

 

[Professur]

Or The Holy Grail?

"I'm not dead yet"

 

[Professur]

Oh Crap what is this "death-watch month"?

New month, new patient, Winkster. Do try to keep up.
