When will the Pope die? - The Contest
Sponsored by Jay Smooth and the Underground Railroad (WBAI 99.5 FM)
So I think it's pretty safe to say that there's no way in hell that Pope JP2 will escape the Year of Our Lord 2005 still breathing. The real question is when exactly that feeble, wimpering heart of his will finally give out. To mark the occasion I'll be sponsoring a contest where you, the reader, get to predict on which day this unfortunate incident will occur.
Here's how it will work: In the comments section to this post, pick a date between today and the end of this year when you think the Pope might die. If he actually dies on the day that you've chosen, I'll send you a bottle of fine J. Roget champagne courtesy of Jay Smooth and the Underground Railroad (WBAI 99.5 FM). If he somehow manages to die on a day nobody picks, the bottle will go to whoever picked the date that was closest. There can only be one entry for each day (there should be about 300 of them left) and one entry per reader. I'm taking this Friday for myself just because I have a hunch.
Hurry, reserve your date now before somebody else does!
