Dope No Pope

Description

In general smoke signals are used to transmit news, signal danger, or gather people to a common area.
In Rome, the College of Cardinals uses smoke signals to indicate the selection of a new Pope. Eligible cardinals conduct a secret ballot until someone receives a vote of two-thirds plus one. The ballots are burned after each vote. Black smoke indicates a failed ballot; white smoke means a new Pope has been elected.

Very clever, and far more telling then you'd think.
