I elect YOU as pope

This is just too interesting not to post: How Do You Pick a Pope? I especially like the parts about tieing the ballots together with needle and thread, and about burning the inconclusive ballots with straw, and black smoke goes out the chimney, so that people know you’re not done yet. Incredible. Really shows how mystical and archaic all that shit is.
