Amanda and Paul's heated discussion about paragraph breaks must have been loud enough to inspire Scott Adams to draw this comic.
In addition, the only thing Kate C. liked about Singin' in the Rain is dead.
Apparently the news media thinks that the Pope already is dead, as we have yet another article about John Paul II's failing health. Outside of molestation, that's the only way that Catholics can get in the news. I find these speculative "on death's door" stories ridiculous. My favorite quote from this one comes from the end of the article:
But there was also a logistical rationale for naming new cardinals now, so that a consistory — the gilded ceremony at which the newly minted cardinals receive their signature red hats — could be held next month. Cardinals from around the world attend such consistories, and the cardinals are already scheduled to be here in late October for events surrounding the pope's 25th anniversary.Hmm, seems as if the Pope's declining health is bigger news than a logical explanation for his actions.
And because I knew you were dying to know what I thought about Yogalates, I'll tell you. I don't like it. Pilates is fine, but ultimately boring. Yoga is lovely, and delightfully un-boring. If I wanted to change my shape or lose a good amount of weight, then I guess I would do it, but because I just do yoga for its general benefits of wellness, I'll refrain from doing my Yoga/Pilates tape. That's why it's dusty.

By the way... has your Norton arrived yet? :)

Posted by: Sarcasmo at September 29, 2003 03:48 PMAccording to the walls of the Sistine Chapel, isn't the world supposed to end after Pope John Paul II dies because there's no room for another Papal portrait?
Posted by: Jess P at September 29, 2003 08:43 PMAm I ever going to live that "heated discussion" with Paul down?
Geez.
Posted by: Amanda at September 29, 2003 10:21 PMKate and Sarcasmo: You provide the mournful weeping, I'll provide the tissues.
Jess: Then I guess the NY Times is fortelling the end of the world...amazing that it has more to do with a lack of display space than it does "rogue nations" or WMD.
Amanda: No. :D
