Hurry! To the conclave!
LOL! So wrong, yet...

As for the black smoke, I'd have been really surprised if they'd elected a Pope on the first ballot. This may take a while. Hopefully someone will be in place by Easter.

So I have a couple of dumb questions I haven't been able to find answers to.

- Do the cardinal-electors vote on Sundays?
- A cardinal-elector has to be under age 80. What happens if a cardinal-elector turns 80 during the conclave? I'm guessing he becomes ineligible as a candidate for Pope, but does he still get to vote?
