Ted: It depends on where you go.
If you get into heaven, They will upgrade your storage limit literally to infinity.
If you go to hell, you will receive only spam and hate mail for the rest of eternity.

Japanese word of the day: karoshi

karoshi

(n) death by over-work.
*this word originates from the traditional Russian dance "Karushika," meaning "dance until you die," which is now prohibited by law throughout Russia (except for certain parts of Moscow). In this dance, two people face off, and dance frantically until one of the two dies from exhaustion. The first one to die, wins.
