Fla. Man Secured BenedictXVI.com Weeks Ago

WashPost:
By the time Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger of Germany assumed his new papal moniker on Tuesday, it was already too late for the Vatican to buy the corresponding dot-com Web address.

That's because a St. Augustine, Fla. man, Rogers Cadenhead, registered the address BenedictXVI.com on April 1, hoping that would be the name of John Paul II's successor. To cover his bases, Cadenhead, 38, also registered ClementXV.com, InnocentXIV.com, LeoXIV.com, PaulVII.com, and PiusXIII.com.
Read Rogers Cadenhead's blog, especially where he talks about the whole thing.

It's interesting to read further comments- who he donated the site to and why. I had no idea internet porn sites would want this type of domain name. How depraved!
