I'm not one for keeping up with religion

I read this article regarding the new pope, and this comment struck me as odd:

"My first impression is that the pope is very humble, and has taken the church in his heart"

Now, I understand that not every church leader is humble, but shouldn't ALL popes, at the least, have taken the church to heart?

Eh - I'm more ranting than asking an actual question in this instance.


Incidentally, I watched the first episode of Borgia on Netflix a week or so ago, and I'm interested in finding The Borgias for comparison (a Showtime series, so I'm probably going to have to shell out money to get it). Also - Jeremy Irons - need I say more?

Sudoku

I've been going insane OCDing on trying to solve a single Sudoku puzzle that's in one of my nightstand books.

I also have the Mensa Guide to Solving Sudoku that I've been working through ridiculously slowly while finding out what "master secrets" I haven't already figured out on my own.

Getting stuck on this one particular puzzle increased my want to work through and learn the techniques in the Mensa book. It's more slow going than I prefer, and I hadn't been able to crack my Problem Puzzle, so I finally decided to cheat.

I found a really GREAT online sudoku solver which can go step-by-step through solving a puzzle. I typed in the puzzle and ran the Unique Check on it, and according to this solver, my Problem Puzzle has 19 solutions, which would explain my getting stuck trying to solve it.

At least now I don't feel so much like an idiot restarting it repeatedly and assuming I kept making an error somewhere.
