Ho hum. This morning's short list was "AC/DC songs named after a type of fish".
Former Tory got the obvious one, "C.O.D." straight off. The others I can think of are "The Jack" (from the albums "TNT", "High Voltage" and "If You Want Blood, You've Got It") and "Big Jack" (from their recent album "Black Ice"), 'jack' being the popular name for several species of fish. Was it really that difficult?
So let's try an easier one: "Popes who named themselves after members of The Beatles".

D, so close but so far.
WOAR, no such Pope since 1962. And Pete Best doesn't really count.
Well, there's John-Paul. Oh, and John-Paul. The first was called "the laughing pope" and the second was called er "his holiness".
AC, I'm marking you down for superfluous hyphens and missing off their surnames.
They all have the surname Heretic-burner. Well known fact.
Would their surnames be I and II?
D, nope.
VFTS, I hereby declare you the winner of this round!
More fun with numbers: the American campaigner Malcolm X was not "Malcolm The Tenth" and the film "The Madness of George III" was called "The Madness of King George" in the USA because they were worried that nobody would go and see it who'd missed parts I and II. Fact.
Hang about, how about all the various Popes John, 1 - XXIII and Popes Paul, I to VII ?
B, by definition, we can rule out Popes who were elected before 1962.
No one's mentioned Popes Ringo and George.
Anon, shit, those are the two short-lived Popes whom even I forget about!
Popes are infallible, might they also not be prescient?
Paul VI was elected in 1963, so we can count him in. Apparently Paul VII is fictional.
B, no and no. The list was: "Popes who named themselves after MEMBERS (plural) of The Beatles" not "Popes who named themselves after A MEMBER (singular) of The Beatles"
So that rules out Pope Paul VI (as well as Pope George and Pope Ringo, now I think about it).
