KNN Newsflash - The government announced today that sometime in the early hours of the morning, that the country's billionth citizen had been born in a small municipality 40 kilometers out from the capitol. At this time, the government is planning a day of festivities.
Included in this day will be the baking of a cake, with a billion candles on it. It is expected that it will not fit anywhere but the largest starport on the planet, and that the candles will have to be blown out by the main engines of a large destroyer taking off. The possibility of actually getting some of this cake has been reported as "slim."
However, if you want cake, the government is only charging $50 for a piece approximately 2 inches cubed in size. It's the best deal this side of the Capitol!
Granted, if you can't afford to buy the cake, you might be part of it, but that's not something many of us have to think about daily. ^_^
