Well the current Chamberlain, Cardinal Tarcisio Pietro Evasio Bertone, is from Romano near Turin, although he's considered too old to be elected.

There's this guy who mantains that the Precambrian fossil rabbits would not disprove evolution, only the order of appearance of the current taxa. He seems to believe that amphibians are thought to have evolved from fish just because fish appear earlier in the fossil record. And he touts himself...

Nah, that was me: I shortened (hence the brackets) a long and winding sentence like "These methods which are claimed to be the be-all end-all epitome of science blah blah blah"... translating it was beyond my grasp of the language, I ought to have thrown in some Shakespearean reference to give...

Possibly the hyoid bone in lateral view? It's involved in swallowing and yelling. It looks like the preparator of the fossil went specifically searching for it.

It doesn't seem like that's what he had in mind: The Catholic Church in recent years has warned against card- and palm-readers, self-appointed seers or mages and unsubstantiated miracles such as weeping statues - not ascribing them to deals with demons or witchcraft, just saying they're scams...

Actually for once I approve of Benedict's action. (hi there, just came out of lurking) The juice of the message, if I read the article right, is not to fight witches but the belief in witchcraft - which is killing people in Africa. Some examples from news articles: Ignorance and superstition...
