When the white smoke when up to announce the election of a new Pope last Wednesday, I was in a meeting. I wrote a note to Scott Olsson next to me: Habemus papam!
Scott replied: Quis est?
I scribbled a moment and passed the note back: Nescio.
Scott added the Roman numeral “I” and passed the paper back: Nescio I.
Which didn’t turn out to be the name, but it was a great joke.
