does that include antipopes, and do those count as -1? also do popes and antipopes annihilate when they kiss?

👉 👈 could we kiss under the popelear explosion cloud?
Actually the typically recognized person as the pope is not in the Vatican city. Which means the number of pope's in Vatican city is 0. https://youtu.be/RMf4OtC7SXY
Statistically, there are a million me per square km in the square meter around me.
Whenever someone says, "Statistically....", you know they're about to say some dumb shit that is an ignorant misinterpretation of statistics.
The highest pope density in the entire universe.
Unless you acknowledge the space pope, obviously.
Always 2 too many.
-- a Roman
Not for long.
I hope they keep the pope away from any antipopes lest we have a catastrophic explosion in Rome.
Don't worry, my ass is staying in Canada.
His not interested on you he got his sacristans for that.
Statistically speaking there is more than 1 skeleton inside everybody.
are luxury bones part of the skeleton?
Statistically, a human has fewer than two arms, two legs, or two eyes.
Is there really more people missing limbs than with child?
I'm confident enough to say a living human at least more than one head.
I mean I guess you could include fetuses, but they aren’t actually part of the mother’s body, and would already count on their own, so while “skeletons inside” is a truthful statistic to include fetuses for, they don’t add limbs so counting them seems dishonest for this one.
...and more than two nipples.
The average human has one boob
If you ignore man-boobs, sure.
But fewer than how many fingers, is the real question (that I couldn’t actually find an answer for).
For a while it was four, but then Nazi Spanish Inquisition pope died.
The big one ate the smaller one.
I couldn't get my head around that stat, thinking that on average it was the current pope and the next pope (who doesn't know it yet) in the Vatican; or whether it counted the remains of popes gone by.
Then I saw the metric area of the Vatican and it made a bit more sense... but not by much.
Wow, that's even higher papal density than Luxembourg!
