So apparently there's a new Pope.

This is good. Absence of clearly-defined leadership leads to chaos. So, guess the world dodged that bullet.

I just started reading this story because I wanted to know how they came up with a 640 year sentence.

Now, though, I'm going to be following it with great interest. Did the guy actually do these things? Did he do some of them? Was he under orders? Is he innocent, or at least 'not guilty'? Will the appeal bring about a different result?

Seriously, it's like a real-life Law & Order (which I don't personally watch), but more interesting because it's, well, real. *opens next news itme*

Practical Jokes

So I've never really been directly involved in a really good practical joke before. You know, the kind that just happen and turn out really well, where everyone plays a role,and they get bigger and more complex (and therefore more hilarious)? I've just never been in the right place at the right time.

Yeah, that's all different now. >:-D

Our Men's Volleyball Club team won the National Championship over the weekend, and they're presenting the trophy to the President of the University this afternoon at 2:30.

One problem.

The trophy? Is missing.

Meghan (my boss and the Head Coach) left her office keys at home, so in order to not lock herself out when she ran an errand, she left her office door open.

With the trophy in plain sight.

...

So Krista, one of our co-workers, walked by and seriously considered stealing it, figuring "OMG BEST PRACTICAL JOKE EVER!!!"

But she didn't. Because that would've been mean.

She came over to our office to tell us about it, of course. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Jeff, another co-worker, had the same thought.

The difference is, Jeff has an evil streak.

He even left a ransom note.

Well, after Meghan left my office, Jeff is over here telling me what he did, laughing and basically enjoying his evil evilness.

And I had An Idea (tm).

I waited until Jeff left for lunch, grabbed Meghan, sneaked into his office, and STOLE THE TROPHY BACK.

Meghan's gonna pretend she still hasn't found it.

Jeff's gonna be sweating bullets.

And me? Well, I'm just gonna sit here and enjoy my evil evilness.

Also, this? Is frightening.
