Popesquatting

At that strange and sparsely inhabited intersection of technology and religion, I enjoyed the Katie Couric interview with the guy who managed to get the domain name for benedictxvi.com. It was a gamble on his part, and his demands to the Vatican for the domain name seem quite reasonable to me:

1. A mitre. As long as it's not some kind ecclesiastical impossibility, he wants one of those pope hats.
2. A stay in the Vatican hotel. He's only asking for three days, two nights.
3. Complete absolution for some of his previous activities.

Perfectly reasonable.
