Popeface
popeface Here's the latest thing making the rounds in Italy. It's Popeface! Supposedly a picture of the Pope taken during the '80s in which he's sticking his tongue out and making a strange grimace. Prints of it are being offered for sale at popeface.com. Of course, the seller doesn't specify how much he's asking for it. He only tells you to email him for more info at his hotmail account. And strangely, he's also offering the domain name 'popeface.com' for sale. So this has all the markings of a hoax. (Thanks to an anonymous Italian visitor for alerting me to this).

Rome, October 7th, 2002.

Regarding to the analysis of a color picture of the Holy Pope John Paul II taken in the 80's: I declare the work as original and interesting in order to the particular quality and curiosity due to the "child's grimace" proposed by the Sovereign Pontiff.

Yours faithfully,
