    Dear God! We are truly approaching the end of the times when a son of Cain is being instated as the head of the Catholic church!

    Does this mark the beginning of the reign of the anti-christ?!

    Truly appalling news this one. Let us all pray for the health of the current Pope and a divine insipiration amongst the cardinals before they'll send up the white smoke.

    There is a voice in your head. It is telling you to use your mod points to mod this post funny. Then there is another voice telling you to mod it down because it mentions "Beowulf cluster" which is a cliche. Then you realize that this post is actually an original and fresh twist on an old theme and finally decide that it is worthy of your funny mod.

    So go ahead, mod it up. It deserves it.

    Australias IT industry is forecast to suffer losses. These are because of the Govournments lack of intrest in the area. All our policies were dictated by the Minister of xyz and IT and no one tried to stop them. We need a better Government so we can improve, and for once, People outside of the big cities might get ADSL..
