Habemus food pyramid!

Food pyramids and popes.

Not long after arriving at work today, people started peeking their heads out of their offices and IM'ing like mad. "There's white smoke!" "No, it's unclear, yes, it's unclear smoke." "No, it must be white smoke because now there are bells ringing! Bells ringing!"

Not one us, to my knowledge, are actually Catholic. Viva the frenzy of "Smoke-cam 2005".

My wife, K, who's been borderline obsessed for a non-Catholic with the rituals and processes of papal succession--not to mention those alleged secret Cardinals in Russia and China!--missed the whole thing. She was giving standardized tests to her students. When I finally talked to her, she said, "Hey, did you hear we have new food pyramids?"
