In other similar news, here's something really sad to think about: our planet is running out of helium. Helium is also extensively used in lab testing, specifically gas chromatography. Since it's just about the most inert element in existence, it's good to use because it won't react with anything. I think I read that the helium supply in North America will run out by 2035. The only other places in the world where you can get it are Russia and Algeria. Synthesizing it would take ridiculous amounts of time and energy. So unless we can find a way to mine this stuff from the sun, we won't be singing about the Lollypop Guild anymore.
