I came across this rumour tidbit:
Dramatic events are unfolding, such as the meteor strike on Russia and worldwide reports of other meteors in the past few days, reminding us of the coming of "Wormwood" and other events in the heavens. The fact that 2 lightning strikes hit the Vatican just 6 hours and 6 minutes after Pope Benedict announced his retirement may also be a "sign" of dramatic developments about to unfold. The Cardinal's Conclave may meet earlier than expected and confer on March 15 - "the Ides of March" for selecting a new Pope. How ironic would it be if they chose someone on that date. There is much speculation surfacing now that the next pope will be The False Prophet or The Antichrist.
