the circle of kife

first Vin Diesel starred as some sort of secret agent in "xXx"

and Ice Cube was babysitting a couple of kids in "Are we There Yet?"

then Vin Diesel started babysitting a couple of kids in "The Pacifier"

and then Ice Cube became the new xXx in the "xXx: State of the Union" thus completing the cycle


I do want to note that I havent seen any of those movies and do not plan on ever seeing any of them (especially the Vin Diesel ones).

Pontiff Pondering

Because Pope John Paul II has been the pope my entire life I merely assumed that popes always had ordinary names. Upon finding a list of all the past popes it has become clear that some of the past 265 popes have had some really cool names.

St. Anacletus (Cletus) (76-88) a pope named Cletus that's too much
St. Sixtus I (115-125) -- also called Xystus I a name like Xystus is damn cool
St. Hyginus (136-140) - it almost sounds like high-genius
St. Urban I (222-30) - I think the youth would relate to Pope Urban
St. Cornelius (251-53) - enough said
St. Innocent I (401-17) - sound likes the name of a movie
St. Leo I (the Great) (440-61) - Leo the great it doesn't get much better than that
St. Hilarius (461-68) - that's hilarious
St. Nicholas I (the Great) (858-67) - good old St. Nick
Lando (913-14) - I think he's in cloud city now

There's lots more too...so any of those names may be appointed to the new pope, There have been 23 Pope John's, 13 Pope Leo's, 15 Pope Benedict's, 13 Pope Innocent's etc. etc. etc. lets see a cool name for the pope.
