Monty Python's Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch Posted by Hello

Wages of Sin?

Wanna bet who will appear at the central window in St. Peter's Basilica accepting the call of Habemus Papam? At least three online betting sites offer wagering on who will be the next Pope. Italian Dionigi Tettamanzi is the current favorite with a Nigerian and a Brazilian filling out the trifecta. Betfair in London claims $81,000 in bets so far. Pinnacle Sports in Curacao also allows bets on the age and geographic origin of the next pope. Ireland's Paddy Power is also taking bets on what name the new Pope will choose. I don't think you can bet Hell Money.
