A friend in the balloon industry has been keeping me abreast of this. Helium is getting scarce. The price of party balloons has been steadily rising. All more signs of the apocalypse - right up there with PPFY seeing two movies in the theaters...

BTW, did you know America stockpiles helium?

Do I get any points for knowing that we have a strategic helium reserve?
