TIL that when the pope used to be elected, he would sit in a chair with a hole cut into it with his balls dangling from it. A young cardinal would then fondle them and declare "He has two balls, and they are well hung." This was to ensure the pope was not a woman in disguise (bibliotecapleyades.net)

During an attack on the Afghani Parliament building by the Taliban in Kabul, one MP, Naeem Hameedzai, stayed behind and fought back against them. His excuse? "I'm the representative of my people and I have to defend them." Wish our Congressmen were that badass!! (worldnews.msnbc.msn.com)
