The cost of the PerlPopeMobile could be defrayed by the selling of relics.

Certainly the *aquiring* of these saintly artifacts would slim down the supposedly burgeoning number of the annoited. It's been a great money maker over the years for the Roman Office....

A slightly disheveled merlyn opens the door.

"'elo, are you a certain person known as merlyn, who posts regularly on
www.perlmonks.org"

"..ummm. Yes. So?"

"Right. We understand you have obtained the level of sainthood and have
come to collect relics."

"Excuse me?"

"Right Sir. Now don't be difficult..." checking clipboard "...we need your right
leg from the knee joint down. The PerlPopeMobile needs a new set of tyres. Now
now sir, no need to be like that, won't take a moment"..."

Then again, maybe the system works just fine as it is..

Instead of "Pope", I suggest the title "Grand Inquisitor".

But we have Pontiffs already, no? We'd have to get even more sacreligious to make it all make sense... I think just calling him vroom will have to do. Though Saints seem to cover a fairly broad range right now--should we have "lesser Angels" and "Archangels" on top of the list?

The "Saint" designation could be subdivided without too much heartburn. Borrowing from the job titles that we all know and *cough* love:

"His Vroomness (Inf)"
"Distinguished Saint (12)"
"Senior Saint (11)"
"Saint (10)"

Other options are suggested by the "a synod of 12th level web mages" footer that appears on these pages.
