Interviewer: Mr. Blumen, how does it feel to be so old?
Blumen: I never much thought I could get very old.
Interviewer: I see.
Blumen: You know, I used to work at Google. In the old days.
Interviewer: Your name doesn't appear in any of the official Google annals.
Blumen: Right.
Interviewer: Google disavows any knowledge of you.
Blumen: If I was them, I would too.
Interviewer: What did you do at Google?
Blumen: I was in charge of finding out how much information there was and how much it would cost Google to store it. I had PhD's working for me.
Interviewer: What did you find out?
Blumen: I found out that we could keep up with the input for about 100 years, but after that we would fall behind in future centuries by an exponential amount.
Interviewer: Did Google incorporate that into their famous Algorithm?
Blumen: I dunno. They fired me.
Interviewer: Was that when you turned to blogging full-time?
Blumen: Could be. Who want's to know?
Interviewer: It's well known that you are the world's oldest living blogger.
Blumen: I didn't know that.
Interviewer: It's true.
Blumen: It's a kick in the pants.
