I think the elderly are already fallen asleep :wink:.

Poor camera operator who’s job it is to capture the whole thing. Soon he won’t be able to see anything due to darkness, has already bumped up the iso settings.

Are you kidding me, that sounds like a dream job. Point camera at thing once - as long as asteroid doesn’t hit Earth you’re good for weeks. :smiley:

Well, it’s definitely not a dream job for me :wink:

If I got it right, the score is 2 to 1 in favor of the Black. How come the White wins? :rofl:

Think the word is that a Italian singer could be the new Pope.

the tube was on the PopeWatch this morning as I was at the laundromat.
I found watching my clothes spin more interesting.
Something depressing about the affair.
I respect that this tradition has carried on a millennia or more but could use a little modern tweaking :slight_smile: .

Maybe they have elected you ? :wink:

In case you’re at least 35 years old, catholic and a male… these are the only requirements, in theory at least.

All I can tell, they haven’t called me yet. Thus I’m a bit … disappointed. :sweat_smile:

Wikipedia is fast, as usual.

The new pope is Leo XIV, formerly Robert Francis Cardinal Prevost who was born in Chicago and a member of the Order of Saint Augustine.
