Now that Benny Ratzinger is getting forced off the papal throne because he was an indispensable cog in a sex abuse conspiracy, we're all wondering who his successor will be.
I don't care who it is, as long as he takes the name Hilarius II.
It's been 598 since a pope abdicated, but it's been 1,545 years since we had a Pope Hilarius, and it's about time.
Our thanks to upyernoz (with a rubber hose) for providing this perfect papal priceless factoid.
