Heck, I was in the check out line and a little girl asked her mother if I was Santa Clause (full beard, pot belly). I ain't gonna burst no little girl's balloon ... ofcourse I said I was Santa Clause to her. You want the mother to scratch my eyes out right then and there?

Street performers? Some nations have a busking tradition.... they don't make a nuisance of themselves but they are everywhere. One family of buskers morphed themselves into a stadium band and wound up buying the official residence for German state visitors with all the money they made.
Street performers that choke traffic are fair game.

In the Jon Benet Ramsey case Mrs. White attended a beauty contest but never once applauded despite the custom that everyone applauds a girl's entrance and exit. Some thought this a sign of guilt, I thought it simply a sign of rudeness.

In the risk of sounding like a five year old or Donald Trump, Narred started it.

Is this the last Pope? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prophecy_of_the_Popes

"Like any good conspiracy theory, there are many holes in the lore of St. Malachy, according to Father James Weiss, a professor of church history at Boston College.

First of all, there is no original manuscript of the prediction. Malachy’s vision was allegedly discovered and published by Benedictine Arnold de Wyon in 1590. Prior to that date, there is no mention or record of it, Weiss told The Huffington Post.

Reputable church historians and clerics have considered it a forgery since the 18th century." Say it ain't so.

Though if you want to be accurate about it, The Wizard started it. I mean, if we're going to establish statutory penalties for exercising a moral and legal right, then why not start with something as clearly harmful as Christianity?

Do you have a couple of weeks to hear a succinct presentation about it?

Seriously? You want to go down that long
road yet again? I don't.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

I usually don't spend that much time on fantasy and fictional works.
