Some versions of the legend suggest that subsequent popes were subjected to an examination whereby, having sat on a so-called sedia stercoraria or ‘dung chair’ containing a hole, a cardinal had to reach up and establish that the new pope had testicles before announcing “Duos habet et bene pendentes” (“He has two and they dangle nicely”),[17] or “habet” (“he has them”) for short.[18]
Do a search for ‘sedes (or sedia) stercoraria’ and/or ‘Pope Joan’.

It may or might not be just a myth.
It’s a legend, but a fun one.
