GUEST,PoppaGator BS: Email the Pope! (11) RE: BS: Email the Pope! 21 Apr 05


I saw an interview on the Today show this morning with a guy in St. Augustine, Florida, who owns the rights to the domain name "benedictXVI.com."

He's not sure what he going to do with it. As soon as JPII passsed away, he bought domain names for six of the eight Papal names used in the last three centuries (Benedict, Pius, Innocent, Clement, etc., with the approprite roman numerals). Someone else had already beaten him to "johnpaulIII.com" and "johnXXIV."

He promises not to sell the domain name to a porn or an online-gambling business. If the Vatican wants it, he'll trade them for it. His current wish-list includes a couple of nights in the new hotel built for conclave-attending cardinals, plus absolution for some things he did back in 1986, during the week when he first met his wife. (The guy was pretty funny about the whole deal.)
