What you didn't know about the popes of Rome.
On the evening of Saturday April 2, 2005, after receiving the Rite of Extreme Unction, Pope John Paul II passed away. At this time his chamberlain would have gone to the papal hospital bed and asked the Bishop of Rome a question, "Are you dead?" There would be no reply from the Pope. The chamberlain would then pick up a silver hammer and strike the Pope on the head and repeat his question, "Are you dead?" Again there would be no reply. The chamberlain would then thrice call out the Pope's baptismal name. He would then declare the Pope to be dead.

Bibles, sex and hot water
"And Adam Knew Eve: A Dictionary Of Sex In The Bible" is a very interesting read. Spent a little of yesterday and a little more of today reading it. Must dig out the Song of Songs again - possibly the only part of the bible that's actually positive about sex.
Hot water has nothing to do with bibles and sex though. It has more to do with the boiler not working for 4 days and the people who broke it not knowing what's wrong plus a whole lot of general incompetance on the part of the main company. Grrr stabby stabby. My hair feels... ewwy.
