Sound boards are loads of fun, especially for geeks and radio personalities. I’ve heard DJs drive on-air phone conversations with these – absolutely their best use by far! This list will definitely grow over time. Unsuspecting pizza-delivery joints beware!

Pope Pius XII

---

Pope Pius XII reigned as Pope from 1939 to 1958. In recent years, he has been popularly criticized for his “silence” during the holocaust and has even been incorrectly associated with the Nazi party; however, Pius XII and the Church did more to aid the Jews in WWII than any other entity in the world. As his case for canonization progresses, many of these historical errors are being addressed and corrected. Lacking sufficient time to research thoroughly, I am only collecting a list of information bits on Pius XII, at least for the moment.
