Did you know there are more aeroplanes in the ocean than submarines in the sky?

I'm nearly certain that nobody who died in WW2 is alive today

I suppose it depends on how they died. People have come back from the "dead" before (heart stopped, declared dead, heart starts again kinda shit), and people who fought in WW2 could still be alive. The overlap may be incredibly small, but it's possible.

Benefit of the doubt: do you mean you doubt there are many people alive who FOUGHT in WWII?

As a great piece of art once said, "Young man, there's no need to feel down."

Such is history.

The town next to me has a very large cemetery, but nobody living in my town is allowed to be buried there.

Fun fact: There are just as many living today as there were in the 1960s!

When I was in school, a teacher told us about how Bill Cosby's son died. One of my classmates asked, after hearing the story, "is Bill Cosby's son still alive?"
