For the Papal Scorecard

Catholic News photograph

Wikipedia has a handy sortable list of living cardinals. The rules are that cardinals over age 80 cannot participate in the upcoming Papal conclave, which knocks out a large number of these guys, though I am also reading that a maximum of 120 can vote in any papal election. Only five members of the College are under 60; I'm counting 118 eligible cardinals out of 209 living cardinals.

You have spent too much time on the Internet when: That picture reminds you instantly of the dance sequence in Thriller as done by the inmates of that jail in the Phillipines.
