Are you that special person who - weary from trudging the endless superhighways - just longs to camp next to a glorious oasis of the mind? Do you desire to explore new frontiers, splash in shared ideas, fill your belly with the refreshing fruits of inspiration, and bask in the gentle rays of fond reflection?

Well, you can fuck right off. This, my friends, is not that place. This place is... The ShadowLands.

Pope Innocent VIII

Back in the day when Popes were made of sterner stuff, Pope Innocent VIII made a name for himself for his hard-line support for the Spanish Inquisition and for witch hunting.

Pope Innocent VIII and his contemporaries believed that witches would have sex with demons, kill babies, and steal penises - and that they needed to be hunted down.

One contemporary historian claimed that when Pope Innocent VIII died on 25 July 1492, three 10-year-old boys also died while attempts were made to transfuse him with their blood.
