Remember Tom Leher's “Vatican Rag?”  HE, at least, got the numbers right.  (“Two, four, six, eight,/Time to transubstantiate!“)  But we're not putting much faith in the Vatican numbers guys these days, along with all the journos who listen to them.  All the reports are that “one million” people viewed the Pope's body the two days it was there for public viewing.  The next sentence or so says something along the lines of “18,000 people per hour passed by the Pope's body.”  Hmmm.  Forty-eight hours times 18,000 equals an optimized 864,000 souls.  Wouldn't a mere quarter of a million pilgrims have sufficed?
