- Another interesting number: the difference between the standard Julian year and the (AFAICT, not officially named as such) 'standard Gregorian year' (of 365.2425 days) is 648 seconds, or 10.8 minutes (10m48s) if you prefer. 172.69.194.115 00:38, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
"...never been a papal starship..." - If this upsets you, read Hyperion! 172.71.142.67 17:12, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
- Even the most cursory research (i.e. googling) reveals that there have been Papal starships.172.70.90.190 09:38, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
