Brett was supposed to be doing something productive. He was not. Instead he found the story of Pope Stephen VI, who in 897 AD decided the correct response to a papal grudge was to exhume his predecessor's corpse, dress it in robes, prop it up on a throne, and hold a full criminal trial. The dead pope got a lawyer. Was found guilty. Had his fingers cut off. Got thrown in a river. The living pope then got strangled in prison. Justice was served to absolutely no one. Are You Shitting Me? — something learned while avoiding real responsibilities.


Cheers!
