Next Pope!

Robert Blake has announced that he's currently rather destitute. He's so poor, in fact, that, yesterday, he had to go back into Denny's to retrieve his pistol.

Yeah, I stole that from Leno, actually.
Now they're taking odds for the *next* pope, i.e. the one after Benedict

And he'll be known as "Pope Ringo George I" just to keep the trend going.
Funny you should say that…here's an exchange I had with PaddyPower.com, a betting agency in Ireland, last Monday:

>>Hi,

>>Thank you for your mail,

>>We will not be adding Bono to the list for next Pope im afraid,
>>although if you wish to back him we will offer you a price of 500-1,
>>you can call dial a bet at 1800 721 821 (irl) or 08000 565 265 (uk)."

What's weird is, at the time, they were giving odds of 1000-1 for a 'Father Dougal Maguire of Craggy Island' so apparently they weren't prepared to totally rule Bono out…
