VATICAN CITY — Pope John Paul II (search) was in extremely grave condition and near the end early Saturday, after apparently losing consciousness just after sunset.

 

The pope "is on the verge of death," Cardinal Javier Lozano Barragan, head of the Vatican's health care office, told the Mexican television network Televisa. "I talked to the doctors and they told me there is no more hope."

Apparently there is going to be an update from the Vatican in the next half hour. But if he had died, wouldn't they tell us straight away? They wouldn't keep us in the dark surely? :banghead:

:D Are you suggesting that The Vatican can be somewhat secretive on occasion?

How do you do those italics? I tried once and it didn't work. Also, I tried to post the link from the Telegraph (see, I need italics there) about Patrick Moore and couldn't work out what to do. Something came up about MY WEBSITE and I just panicked and clicked on "home". Pathetic, I know. :banghead:

These italics?

 

I just highlighted the word and hit the button. The HTML tag should show up in the preview box.

 

That's damn scary about your website coming up. I'd panic too!

This is a solemn moment for the deathlist. It's greatest dodger, it's most excellent escapee is finally about to kick the bucket and head off to the great big vatican in the sky.

So, if this one lasted the longest ever, are we about to have one that dies after just one year again?

John Paul Two

is looking blue

and green and white

and pasty too.

 

In fact, for those who prophesy

it's almost time for him to die.

He served us well in robe and miter

Just to pull this last all-nighter.

 

Goodnight, God bless, oh holy one

As papal meat you're almost done.

With beads pressed firm inside our palm

We say goodbye from Deathlist.com

In the interest of fairness, the next Pope will be called George Ringo I.

Surprisingly deep coming from a British site which uses whimsical satire in the face of death.

According to Sky, (I know :banghead: ), the Pope is responding when addressed by aides. I wonder if he's telling them to stop with the hammer?

I suppose if "food" can rhyme with "blood" the "palm" could possibly rhyme with "com" but it's pushing poetic license a bit far isn't it Typhoid?

 

Good poem though.

:)

True genius is always ridiculed. :P

 

Okay, maybe it's just me, but what's up with the multitudes gathering in St. Peter's Square? They're all fondling their rosaries ang praying like mad. For what? Are they hoping he gets better?

"The throne of St. Peter is empty"

 

I just love those lines they say on CNN.

 

I want the Cardinal of Paris to be elected as Pope, a Jewish pope. :)
