Birds singing in the forest are not compatible with the consumerism people wants. Give people noise until they turn absolutely mad, maybe then birds sings again. Flying over a cuckoo's nest.

I prefer this one, however.And this one.There's good news hidden in maps if you just look hard enough.QuoteThe recent decline in births across Portugal — to 89,841 babies in 2012, a 14 percent drop since 2008 — has been so acute that the national government is moving to close a slew of maternity wards nationwide. In an increasingly childless country, 239 schools are shutting down this year and sales of products such as baby diapers and children’s shampoos are plummeting.

However, the statistics covering 1990-2010 show that each Baltic state lost half a million people (forgive some convenient rounding), which means Estonia was hit proportionally hardest, as it had the smallest population to begin with.BTW, what's up with Ireland?

There's no up in the universe because there's no center of the universe, which leads to the observation that the big bang happened everywhere, perhaps somewhere near Ireland.
