My six year old nephew, whose father passed away six months ago,
   asked me, *''Do you stop thinking when you die?''*

   Tough one there! I gave him a *some people believe*, simple
   atheist explanation, simple Christian, a bit of ghost stuff, and
   no dice. Brows still furrowed and concerned. Then I remembered:
   *''And there are some people who believe that you get your own
   _planet_ when you die, but it's _way_ on the other side of the
   Universe, which is why they can't talk to us.''* His face
   brightened up, he laughed a little - and he was back to normal.

   How did I do?
