Pope for the day
So, this board seems full of quite bit of hatred for anything Dawkin's doesn't like. So, if you were the pope, what would you do? How different would you be?

Alt q - is it too early to have a beer? I'm working from home while on baby wait and cannot be arsed to drink tea.

Never too early for beer, no spirits before 1pm.
If I were Pope for the day, I would nick as much sweet stuff as I could before going back to civvy life. Post myself lot's of memoribilia. Also swipe a Swiss guard outfit for future fancy dress opportunities.
