Pope Joan. She was pope for a couple years.
After her, they were said to check on new popes by sitting them in the pope chair, and attest:
"The Pope to be would sit on the seat and the cardinals would pass by, checking the papal procession and proclaiming:
'testiculos habet et bene pendentes'. A loose translation being: 'testicles he has and well-hung ones'.
Can't make this shit up.

Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell ![Popcorn Popcorn](https://atheistforums.org/images/smilies/popcorn.gif)
