That the photo was meant to be funny? (I'm in it).

Cheers,
Andy

The specification was as follows:

   "If your beard is white, gray, flecked with gray or on the brink of 
graying,
    your presence is requested.  No minimum length requirement.  Honorary
    graybeards welcome (those with a valid biological reason for NOT growing
    a prodigious gray beard, but otherwise qualified)"

Harald and Dan don't have grey beards in that picture, so that can't be it.

As there is photographic evidence of graybeards and it is compliant
with the specification, it must be true that it is the sort of
council of elders for the internet.
