they want life experience, they think that from 70-80 has the most potential to keep the catholic church on its feet. sum1 who can b trusted i guess

if any1 can b bothered, read "angels and demons" by dan brown - its fictional but a lot os based on fact of vatican city and the whole kinda thing goin on just now with the new papacy

easily mate, u just add any sort of chemical or colouring! burning oil goes black if im not mistaken?and burning sumthin like wood makes normal smoke...

theyv done it for centuries...i doubt its that hard
