Do they have to order pizza in the same language?

The Tensor wants to know what language the Cardinals will speak when they’re sequestered away to choose the next Pope. Personally, I wonder what language the Cardinals will speak in batting practice tomorrow! [rimshot]

Actually, I find this whole thing partly fascinating, and partly of the “Wake me when it’s over” variety. I think it would be funny, actually, if they just had a big “rock-paper-scissors” competition, with the winner being made Pope.

And I think it would be cool if the next Pope took the name “Gigantor”. Just because the world needs a Pope Gigantor the First. (And, in all likelihood, the same guy would be Pope Gigantor the Last.)
