That link didn't work for me (ita's "no pope" link.)

What is even happening?
I confused.
That was Monday. As far as I can tell, the bells also rang, today.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Apparently no pope.
That's what happened yesterday.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Maybe they're casting a spell to make them all Popes. An army of Popes...

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
The date stamp on ita's link indicates exactly what amych said. Think it was the first vote this morning.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
It says that there was a bit of white smoke and then black smoke, so people were confused.
It says it was posted at 10:19 this morning, so I'm thinking that's EST? Cause there are bells going off, too, which PJPII decreed be done when they had in fact chosen a Pope so there was no confusion.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The story just disappeared from Google news. I guess I'm unconfused again.

If I only had a brain...
That was Monday, ita. Today they not only had the smoke, they rang the bells; part of JPII's plan to make sure it was unambiguous.

Ann, that's a ferret.
(ETA: Eh, bell-related snark really not worth it.)
