Thursday Morning Riddle

In the home of the Pope, I’m a locus of prayer;
With a touch of divinity, high in the air;
That’s a strain on your neck if you linger to stare;
And I’m named for a Fourth, though I sound like its square.

Who am I?

UPDATE: Riddle solved by Lee. See comments for answer.

    Sistine?

    And, furthermore, is no one else playing these games anymore?

  2. Bill Says:

    THE SISTINE CHAPEL is correct!

    There have been a number of hits to the blog between the time I posted the riddle and the time it was solved. I don’t know who else is playing these games, but they seem to be giving you a free pass on Six Degrees. I have found at least three shorter paths than the current winning entry, but of course I am disqualified from entering.

    I’ll post my shortest there after midnight, since I can’t officially win.

    I would have gotten it, had not Bloglines updated my stream until this morning! Good job Lee. Argh Argh.

  4. Bill Says:

    Ro, you’d have gotten this one for sure.

    But it’s not too late to beat Lee at Six Degrees. Game ends at midnight. Clock’s ticking…

    By the way, I’ve finally posted the answer to the first riddle.
