What will the Vatican give for the Pope's name? Rogers Cadenhead sought an answer. Upon the death of Pope John Paul II, this self-described "domain hoarder" registered www.Benedict XVI.com before the new Pope's name was announced. Cadenhead secured it before Rome knew they needed it.

The right domain name can prove lucrative. Another name, PopeBenedictXVI.com, surpassed $16,000 on eBay. Cadenhead, however, didn't want money. A Catholic himself, he was happy for the church to own the name. "I'm going to try and avoid angering 1.1 billion Catholics and my grandmother," he quipped.

He did want something in return, though. In exchange for the name, Cadenhead sought:

1. One of those hats;

2. A free stay at the Vatican hotel;

3. Complete absolution, no questions asked, for the third week of March, 1987.

Makes you wonder what happened that week, doesn't it? It may even remind you of a week of your own life.
