What Happens When You Die
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DIE Despite the prevailing scientific understanding of death in modern times, it appears that many individuals still hold beliefs in the existence of an afterlife. In 2014, a survey conducted by the Telegraph in the UK revealed that just under 60 percent of respondents expressed a belief in some form of continued existence after death. Similarly, in the United States, a predominantly Christian nation, Pew Research conducted a study in 2015 to explore people's beliefs regarding the afterlife. The findings indicated that 72 percent of Americans believed in the concept of heaven, which was described as a realm where individuals who have led virtuous lives are eternally rewarded. Additionally, 54 percent of U.S. adults expressed a belief in hell, which was described as a place of eternal punishment for those who have lived wicked lives without remorse. With these perspectives in mind, we delve into this episode of the Infographics Show, where we explore the question: What occurs when we pass away? To begin, let us examine the factual realities of what happens to the physical body upon death.

Fake News Headline Challenge
When it comes to fake news headlines, The Onion remains the undisputed heavyweight champion. Of course I am referring to The Onion in its heyday, back when it still had a hard copy print edition that actually could be delivered to your door or purchased from newstands or paperboxes in large cities around the country (mostly the northeast). Yes, that is how old I am. What remains of The Onion, theonion.com is mostly a sad reminder of those halcyon days of yore. They still sell merchandise featuring some of the classics, but the headlines and stories they crank out today are a far cry from the brilliant, biting, satire and wit of their early to middle years. Of course, it could just be I am too old now to appreciate the humor. In any case, selecting the best of them is really an impossible task. There are just too many to choose from. However, for purposes of this challenge, which is to come up with the best The Onion style fake news headline, I am going to list three of my all time favorites, starting with my absolute favorite first.

Jesus Saves at Temple Market
Jesus Christ, lord and savior to tens of millions of Christians worldwide, reportedly saved big at the temple market during his last shopping trip there. Though he has been permanently banned from the market for disrupting business by violently turning over money changer's tables during previous visits he still shops there regularly in disguise. The son of God saved close to fifteen percent off of regular prices on fish heads, mulled wine, and bread loaves by buying them from the clearance rack at the back of the temple and not near the front entrance where they are generally found at much higher prices. After leaveing the store with almost 100 drachma remaining from his budget of 200 dinar Jesus was reportedly quite pleased with how much he had saved saying the following "They say give to Ceaser what is Ceaser's and give to God what is God's. Oh wait, I mean, I say that, or, I said that. Not sure exactly where I was going with that, but man did I save big today. I mean I saved a lot. Nice!" With that Jesus bowed his head, turned and walked away.

Defend Your Home with a Good Book!
A blow with a word strikes deeper than a blow with a sword. Robert Burton, 1577-1640. I’ve been reorganizing my books recently. No, not because I’m the nerdy, obsessive type who arranges his reading material in some weird way. Alphabetically by author is mainstream, so don’t judge me. Judge that bunch who group them by colour. Weirdos.
