How many bodies can a cemetery hold?

There’s one thing that’s a given in life, they say: death and taxes.

And if you’re lucky, you won’t ever have to pay taxes.

But everybody is going to die sometime, and the question you should ask is what do you plan on doing with your body when you’re gone?  Are you a burial person?  A cremation person?

Not everybody is going to have their ashes sprinked into the water on the it’s a small world ride at Walt Disney World (we know it’s happened), or packed into a firework and blown up in a celebratory display, or made into a diamond.

How much money can you make mining asteroids?

There’s a lot of money in asteroids.

The problem, as Bruce Willis showed us, is getting the money out of them.

What is the Made Up Words Project?

Every family has their own words or phrases for real-life things.

It could be a nickname for underwear (“gotchies”), or something a bit more insider.  Nicknames for siblings due to a pronounciation problem.  Even descriptions of neighbors can be turned into verbs, as Web Watch told you many, many years ago when discussing SECRET FAMILY WORDS.

Who are the Most Sampled Recording Artists of All Time?

It’s been said that there will reach a point in time where every single piece of recorded music has been written.  There are only so many combinations of notes on a musical scale that can be made.

If it sounds too good to be true, it must be made up, right?

They say that you shouldn’t believe everything that you read on the Internet.

That Wikipedia may (or may not) be the most reliable source of information out there.

Nothing false can be put online, you know.  It says so right here in this email our grandmother sent us.
