Choosing a New Pope/Passing a Budget

Lubos Motl has a new post on choosing the new Pope. The part I liked was:
If they're unable to choose Wojtyla's successor for three days, they can only eat bread and wine. After five days, they can only fill their plate once. These rules of starvations have been tested for many centuries and they guarantee that someone is eventually chosen.

This might be a good procedure for Congress to adopt in passing a budget.
