I'm not into stealing other people's work, and Ryan Moore on Cracked.com actually made my job easier by writing about some dope popes in much less detail and with a lot more humor than I would have. You can read his article on the site:
The 5 Biggest Badass Popes
But I would like to point out a few things I disagree with.
First, the whole sitting in a chair with a hole in it to make sure a pope had male genitalia is no more than a rumor. You want proof? Fine. I'll give it to you when I finish writing that post (I know I know I'm terrible). Legend said it came about because of the alleged Female Pope, which I would also like to discuss the unlikelihood of in a later post. For now you can either take my word. Or Ryan's.
