I'd like to know how many Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, Scientologists, and other folks from high-emphasis-on-conversion sects flew to the Vatican while the Pope was dying and tried to get in to see him. I bet there were a LOT. Because getting the Pope to convert? On his deathbed?? If you practice a religion that takes that sort of thing seriously, that's the sort of thing that gets (non-accredited) universities named in your honor.

Look at it this way: if the parallel universe theory is true and everything possible *is* happening somewhere, then in one universe a few weeks ago the Pope at his last public address lifted his arms and cried out, "My people! I have made grievous mistakes in my life, but there is still time to correct them! From this point forward, and before the throne of Jah himself I proudly declare....I! AM! A RASTAFARIAN!!!!"

And I bet that universe is a reaaaaaally interesting place right now.

But then there's also a parallel universe where the Pope was *already* a rastafarian.
And one where he was a rastafarian, and converted to that wacky catholosism on his death bed.

And the universe where there's nothing but shrimp.

Man, I want to think like you. Could I borrow your brain occasionally, just for an hour or so at a time, when my imagination doesn't seem to be working very well? I think it would really help my writing career. :)

yeah,
but that universe probably was to begin with.

I agree. Of course, in that universe most of my mother's family would have thought about converting right then and there if he had said that. I wonder how many people really, really believed they could convert the Pope? Hmm.
