I had originally hoped that the pope and schiavo would go down on easter, but when i learned about falwell i started drooling for the TRIFECTA.

I'll put 5$ on all of them going down the same day.

I'll need money to pay for the celebratory booze. (on account of falwell and to an extent the pope)

Wasn't Jerry Falwell the b@$73rd that protested the murdered gay guy's funeral?
Nevermind.

Shiavo will die 10 or 11 days from now.
The pope will die upon hearing Shaivo's death. Jerry will live until May.

Yeah.
What if two die on the same day, but not three?

Argh. I can't do it. :(

I don't want the pope to die.

*looks around* Huh? No. I'm not catholic(though I am christian). No. I really don't give a rat's ass about the old fart. He's done wondrous and horrendous things in the name of God. I'll call it a wash to avoid detalied analysis of his life.

What I care about is that if he dies as pope, we're in for the biggest shitstorm or global grief and mourning ever. It'll make Bob Hope's death pale in comparison. It'll inundate us all in a morass of articles. It'll drown the board in more argumantative threads than Ronald Reagan's death did.

I hope he lives forever. Or barring that, I hope a new pope is chosen before the old geezer croaks. It'll still be hell, but it'll be somewhat more manageable if there's a new pope first.

*bleah* :(

WHAT? You think this will cause more mourning than when Friends went off the air? Thats impossible?!!##$%#$%? :eek:

Ah, well in that case, I'll take $20 on Falwell. :)

Oh, and I'll bet another $50 that he goes straight to Hell. :D

$500 on this order: Schiavo, Pope, Falwell.

Oh, and Kervoskia: I have contacts in Heaven who agreed to introduce him to the afterlife version of bending over in a prison shower. I had to pay a few of the archangels handsomely to get them to go along with it, but they agreed to the trade of 20 souls converted to their side in exchange for ignoring Falwell's pleas.

Where are you going to find 20 souls?

Oh... erm... in that case, make that Schiavo, the other two will be hooked up to life support for extended periods of time.

I converted 10 Protestants to Satanism. When they were kicked out of their community, they stopped being bad examples to their kids and the children won't be spreading discord, which will result in their 20 friends not being as influenced against Christianity and them sticking to the religion.

Schiavo goes first. She's been starving since Friday before last, and her insides must be half-mummified by now. Her number is up.

Falwell is a dark horse, since we don't know the severity of his condition. All things being equal, I say he goes next, followed by the Pope in a few months.

I'm clarifying something: The above was a joke. You may stop hiding now.

Schiavo will be violently freed by the mob of hundreds of protesters and killed en route to the makeshift ambulance to take her back to her parents. JF will disappear in late april-early may, and resurface in a few years from captivity by gay-straight alliance extremists. The government will be forced to pay him millions of dollars.

The Pope will die the morning before schiavo is incidentally killed.

23-1.

Twelve dollars on my outcome.

Shiavo will be killed by her mothers desperate attempts to insert the feeding tube herself, and will accidentally stab her in the jugular. the pope will die of alergies caused by his feeding tube in his nose, and JF will simply disapear. never to be seen again, presumably dead, or kidnapped by aliens and sent to the mines in Africa. yep.

Pneunomia.

That's a shitty way to go, you literally drown in your own mucus. Couldn't have happened to a more deserving person. Do you think they'll keep him "alive" in a persistant vegetative state? Oh, and what do you think Larry Flynt (not that I think he's a nice person) is making of JF's condition?

I think science is on my side when I bet $20 on Schiavo - payable by post-dated, third person, out of state cheque
