And, to follow a completely random title, I would like to say a few things. First, I love thesauruses, even when the don't show me what I want to see: A really long, delicious word for something simple like "random." Secondly, I found a very interesting, very slightly depressing site. I found it through a fun (if not tacky) little newspaper site for teenagers, and really it's quite mesmerizing. Check it out, takes only a few seconds:

As you will see, this site shows an eyeopening craziness: numbers of people dying, marrying, divorcing, being injured, getting cancer, HIV, abortions and so on. The amount of oil being pumped. The earths temperature. Of course, no one can really know what the real numbers are, but these are based on past stats and estimates. You can also choose whether you would like to see life trickle by in a yearly, monthly, daily, or nowly fashion...
Crazy?
Uh huh.
Well, Auf Wiedersehen, for now.
(My translator says that means "good-bye" in German. Those silly Germans.)
