    		Those within sight of the Vatican may know by the smoke signals. The world finds out when it gets into the papers or on the TV.

    		You can't see the smoke from your house Baloo? ;)

    I put the "symbolically speaking" in there to avoid the wise cracks, obviously the cracks are easy to slip through....Mind you, you have a point there with the "world", should have configured that one better!!!!!
