See this is how these things start, next he'll be rolling stones down hills and such like and hundreds of years later kids will get rampant tooth decay because of commerialisation by people who make choclate eggs....

The vatican won't relase info on his death right away, it usually takes a while. Remember they have to go through that whole ceremony where they say his name 3 times, hit him in the head with a silver hammer and a bunch of other stuff. It'll prob take a day, not much longer than that.
I kinda think he's already dead. |

They crack his skull with a hammer to make sure he's dead??? Catholicism just got 20 times cooler in my book. |

He doesn't crack his skull :p
| quote: | | When the pope dies, the cardinal chamberlain (Camerlengo) of the holy Roman Church (currently Eduardo Cardinal Martinez Somalo) ascertains the pope’s death, traditionally by calling the pope three times by his baptismal name without response. The ritual of striking the head with a silver hammer (which would later be used to break the Fisherman’s Ring and the papal seal) may be replaced by covering the face with a cloth. He then authorizes the secretary-chancellor to issue a death certificate and seals the pope's private apartments. After notifying the cardinal vicar for the diocese of Rome, the chamberlain secures the temporal goods and rights of the Holy See and attends to the details of the pope’s burial. |

they also light a fire in a special fireplace in the vatican which signifies the death and call for election of a new pope.
despite my differences with the catholic church, i would appreciate it if people could try and keep the joking out of this subject as the pope was a great man and deserves our respect. |

Yeah, that's when everyone will officially know he's dead, including the media. Just like it happenned in Eurotrip when they burn that room and you see all that smoke coming out of the chimney :p |
