Xopher:

  I've heard that the Pope just died.

I've heard it twice, and both times I have heard later that his health
has deteriorated.  I believe we would do better to listen to news
reports than to rumors.  I don't know of anyone reading Making Light
who lacks access to cnn.com, Google news, or the rest of the gaggle
who will report within thirty seconds of his last breath, so perhaps
reporting the news or rumors here is not particularly useful, either.
