BenedictXVI.com Not New Pope's Domain

Florida-based technical writer Rogers Cadenhead was apparently able to divine the new pope's name and registered the domain BenedictXVI.com on April 1, more than two weeks before the election of the new pope, reports Wired. The URL takes visitors to Cadenhead's blog, which has begun to receive more than100 hits a minute, according to Cadenhead. The Google Adsense ads that run on his blog had brought in $12 by mid-afternoon Tuesday, he said, adding that he would likely feel guilty making money from his foresight. Some emails from visitors have already accused him of committing a sin by squatting on the domain.
