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.
Jesus allegedly came back, they aren’t taking those kinds of risks these days
Do you know how many more murals they’d have to paint?
my favourite fact is that “factoid” doesn’t mean “little fact” but is actually starting to mean that
+5 damage and THAC0 against undead (Pope)
you know it’s an ancient artifact when it uses THAC0
Plot twist: THAC0 bonus actually reduced your THAC0
This felt like a personal attack
“I fear the Pope has died!”
“You can’t say things like that! You have to be sure!”
*wham-“Ack!!” wham wham
“OK, I’m sure the pope is dead.”
Pope Says he’s feeling better now…
What about the holy hand grenade?
HAAAALELUJAH
Live your life such that they have to verify your death
I have one of these on my coffee table that’s decoration. Found it just laying in some room when I visited the Vatican in the 90s. Weird.
Which side do they hit him with?
I bought one of those at Harbor Freight for like ¼ the price the Vatican probably paid.
Yeah but it breaks after hitting 2 popes
Bing, Bong, Witch is dead!
The silver hammer of Saint Maxwell.
I prefer the Holy Ball-Peen.
Looks like a scaling hammer, like you’d use to knock the scale off a weld. Maybe an allusion to Saul/Paul and scaly eyes?
