They say Helium is going to run out in the next 10-40 years.
And tryin' to figure out what happened to 'Germaine Propaine'

That Canibus turned into a television evangelist"
Plus he raps with his regular voice [BOOSH! BOOSH!]

When? No idea, but it's a safe bet not before your endless supply of mindless polls.

Whatever about the helium or the polls, this latest essential contribution from you suggests that something else has run out.

If this issue concerns you, I'd suggest you research it then come back and present us with your findings. If there's a compelling problem, you'll have done us a favour by alerting us to it. Until then, this is a question requiring some quite specialist scientific knowledge that has been posted on a music forum. What is it likely to achieve?

Next to hydrogen, it is the second most abundant element in the universe, and accounts for 24% of the elemental mass of our galaxy.

Apparently we are heading for peak chocolate or may have all ready passed it.

Apparently the amount of land suitable for growing quality cacao is limited.
And demand from newly affluent countries like China is going to outstrip demand.
So while the amount of chocolate will not fall, the price will go up.
Better stock up now I tell myself. :wink:

I am never more than a few steps away from chocolate. Either in the fridge at home or in my draw at work.
