Truly Freaky


Cartoon by Katharina Greve apparently predicting Pope Benedict XVI's resignation (via http://redd.it/18b2cv)

German calendar might have freakishly predicted the pope's resignation

Talk about incredible timing. On February 10, a German daily calendar was accompanied by a comic illustration that reportedly predicted Pope Benedict XVI's resignation down to the day. In the cartoon, the pope holds up a winning lottery ticket and cries "Holy straw sack! Tomorrow I quit!" (His Holiness probably didn't resign because he won the lottery — though it makes more sense than some of those other conspiracy theories.) The comic's illustrator Katharina Greve, who drew the comic in 2011 as a tribute to the then-recently departed German cartoonist Loriot, remarked that the coincidence was "very funny." [Source]
