Isnt it so weird how the number of dead people is increasing even though the earth stays the same size, so that one day there isnt going to be room to bury anyone anymore? For my ninth birthday last year, Grandma gave me a subscription to National Geographic, which she calls the National Geographic. She also gave me a white blazer, because I only wear white clothes, and its too big to wear so it will last me a long time. She also gave me Grandpas camera, which I loved for two reasons. I asked why he didnt take it with him when he left her. She said, Maybe he wanted you to have it. I said, But I was negative-thirty years old. She said, Still. Anyway, the fascinating thing was that I read in National Geographic that there are more people alive now than have died in all of human history. In other words, if everyone wanted to play Hamlet at once, they couldnt, because there arent enough skulls!
