Today I saw in the news that in the Vatican, the conclave run a joke in the public. First, they blow what it looks like white smoke (for those who are not following the new Pope election, white smoke states that a new pope has beed elected); but after the people in the outside erupted in cheers, the smoke changed to black, indicating that the conclave didn't reach a winner.

 

Now, the funny part is the thing that popped in my mind at that moment.

 

"Busted"

 

 

I have a sick mind. You can kill me later, thank you.

ok................................................................

Hmmn, other people might find this funny, but I don't see the "Funny" in it.

I couldn't find any reference that they actually did that, nor would I think that a bunch of old guys would be humored to play with the international press like that.Plus it'd be highly unlikely for the decision to be taken within a day. My guess is that they'll take a few more days. (Thursday?)

 

It's probably your TV station playing a joke on you, than the Vatican Conclave playing a joke on everyone else.

Nope, just saw it on the news then - started off as white smoke, and everyone cheared. . . .

 

Then it went black and there was a huge: "Aaawwwwwwww"

 

Got to admit, I did chuckle when they all went aww

That's true on all arguments.

 

First of all, if I have ofended somebody, I want to say "I'm sorry".

 

Second, I'm following this too. I hope they decided before the end of the week. I got high hopes that the next pope will be from Latin-America.

I must admit things like that tend to make me chuckle. This is only due to the fact of how ridiculous they are.

DT, i heard about one perticular latin amican cardinal which seems to have his chances.

Yes. I think he's the cardinal for Brazil. Don't remember his name, but he's a favorite.

I'm following it too, and I am thankful that the new pope isn't Latin-American (The brazilian wouldn't have mattered to me, but the Honduran or the Colombian is a big no-no).

 

For those that don't know the new pope is Ratzinger, a German: Benedictus, the XVI. (Thankfully he didn't choose Juan Pablo III (or it's name in your language variant))

Oh yes. We have found that out. Thanks Trej. I understand you are a moderator, yes?

 

Since we are following up the pope case in GAT's tread, can you give me the favor of lock this one.

 

This tread has out-live it's usefullness. Thanks.
