Cybersquatting For The Pope

Some clever fellow who followed the prophecies of St. Malachy registered the domain benedictxvi.com before the new pope was elected and is now getting tons of hits to his website (and probably making a nice profit with google ads). I went to check out if any variations on that domain were still available but could find nothing. Even misspellings, such as benedictvxi.com and benedictxiv.com, are already taken. Then I looked for the “last pope” and found PeterII.com and all variations already taken also… even the latin petrusromanus.com. Getting a good cybersquatting domain name is extremely difficult these days.

Pope John Paul II passed on today at the age of 84. I guess we’re one step closer the “last pope”. Of course, I don’t believe in Catholic prophecies and anything that might come true can be attributed to the self-fulfilling prophecy effect. Regardless, it’s fun to read about. The next pope, who’s reign will apparently be short, will be one of bringing peace. After that, the final Pope called Peter the Roman, will supposedly reign during a time of massive persecution of the church… and something about an upcoming world war. Oh well, sounds like lots of fun. 
Unfortunately, I believe I probably won’t see humanity evolve from it’s semi-barbaric and superstitious state in my lifetime.
