Miracles
Wow, it looks like the Vatican may have found a miracle that they can attribute to Pope John Paul. If that's true he's a shoo-in for sainthood. And if it's really, really true then I better stop making fun of this whole process. But here's a great quote here from Alex Tabarrok at Marginal Revolution that sums up my feelings on this charade:
I would be more impressed, however, if the cure rate of those who prayed to John Paul exceed that of those who prayed to Elvis. Will the Vatican be performing a t-test? I suspect not.
