    It was in a book of papal facts my very Catholic childhood friend had on the bus one time, so I buy it. One additional aspect I remember is that they call them by their Christian/given name when they hit them.

    It’s a silver hammer, so it could also check if the Pope is a werewolf.

    my favourite fact is that “factoid” doesn’t mean “little fact” but is actually starting to mean that

    +3 to hit vs. Popes, Cardinals, and Bishops. On hit, Popes who are alive but playing dead must save vs. Fortitude or die.

    “One” hit

    “Two” hit Pope: “Ouch!”

    …

    …

    “What do we do now?” “Just hit harder, it’s a self-solving problem”

      So it’s correctly labeled as a factoid then

        The -oid suffix is used to describe something that appears like something else, but is not that thing. An asteroid is something that looks like a star, but isn’t. A factoid is something that looks like a fact, but isn’t.

        I used to introduce my common-law partner as my “wifeoid.” She hated that but sometimes it is okay to put your own pleasure first.

    This is false! Everybody knows that they smother the pope’s face with a huge hoe’s ass to confirm his death.

    “I fear the Pope has died!”

    “You can’t say things like that! You have to make sure!”

    *wham-“Ack!!” wham wham

    “OK, I’m sure the pope is dead.”
