Respecting those that do not understand the significance, let me explain: The public had been watching the Sistine Chapel smokestack for the signal of white smoke that meant a new Pope had been elected. Black smoke meant that the Catholic Cardinals did not have successful ballots that morning or afternoon.

Makes sense, a Papal Bull would have fallen off. ;)

The papal seal would never have made it to the roof in the first place.
