пм Illustration ofPope Innocent X having his testicles examined, from Roma Triumphans (1645) Some versions of the legend suggest that subsequent popes were subjected to an examination whereby, having sat on a so-called sedia stercoraria or "dung chair" containing a hole, a cardinal had to reach up and establish that the new pope had testicles, before announcing "Duos habet et bene pendentes" ("He has two, and they dangle nicely"),[15] or "habet" ("he has them") for short.[16]
