I don't know how many people there are in the world at this precise moment, but I do know that however high that figure might be, there are still not enough worthwhile things to keep all of us busy doing something worthy of our time.
For instance: Raspberry Circle, a tech company from Britain, decided that it has been long enough that we have all waited to see what the world record is for dropping stuffed animals out of the sky. So they dropped a plushie named Emy (nine ounces, fluffy, yellow and green) out of a high-altitude balloon 116,419 feet over Kingston, NY and let it plummet earthward.
The Emy plushie landed uninjured in a tree in Windsor, Connecticut, according to the CEO of Raspberry Circle, one Sachin Raoul.
If I wouldn't miss Peggy and Eddie so much, I mean I would get in my car today and drive to where the next drop is supposed to take place, in hopes of getting Eddie a new toy for free. Mr Raoul says he is doing this to get kids to go outside more often - even at the risk of getting plunked on the bean by a stuffed toy.
If I do go out, I'm wearing a helmet.
