Funny you should say that...here's an exchange I had with PaddyPower.com, a betting agency in Ireland, last Monday:

>>Hi,
>>Thank you for your mail,
>>We will not be adding Bono to the list for next Pope im afraid,
>>although if you wish to back him we will offer you a price of 500-1,
>>you can call dial a bet at 1800 721 821 (irl) or 08000 565 265 (uk)."
What's weird is, at the time, they were giving odds of 1000-1 for a 'Father Dougal Maguire of Craggy Island' so apparently they weren't prepared to totally rule Bono out...
