The Minsky Moment

Quote from: HVC on May 08, 2025, 06:12:38 PMHuh, looking it up he's only been a cardinal less than 2 years.

Not his fault, he was drafted by the Cubs and only recently traded.
We have, accordingly, always had plenty of excellent lawyers, though we often had to do without even tolerable administrators, and seen destined to endure the inconvenience of hereafter doing without any constructive statesmen at all.

Quote from: Rex Francorum on May 08, 2025, 07:47:22 AMCuriosity question for our anglo friends. Why the Sixtine chapel is named "Sistine" in english? I mean, the pope behind its construction was Sixtus IV (Sixte IV in french).

My guess is because sixteen is a number

He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Quote from: HVC on May 08, 2025, 05:37:12 PMAn American Pope? If I wasn't an atheist already I'd be considering becoming one :lol:
If it helps, he became a naturalised Peruvian citizen in 2015 :P

60 years as an American. 60! America ruins religion :contract: :P



Peruvians are American, but not United Statesians.  :P Except maybe the current pope.
