Infinite Dust

 Today I was sweeping the stairs and thought, "How much dust could possibly regenerate itself on my stairs?" The thought pricked at my imagination for a long time. It seemed that dust really was infinite. So I Googled what it was made up of. 

Sorry for bad quality. I had to make the image really big to see what it said. 

So Google said that it was mostly particles, skin cells, hair, and plastics. 

So what? How many particles is the Earth going to generate until it runs out? According to Google, the Earth's crust is already 61 sextillion pounds. So that's 61 sextillion pounds about to crawl its way into my house and my stairs. This is rather scary. But then there's indoor particles. What are "indoor particles?" Couch foam? I didn't want to know any more. But it's also kind of nice to know that I'm sort of saving the environment and reducing landfill use by sweeping my couch foam back into the couch. I'd call that recycling. 

But with the crust thought comes this other scary thought: the human skin cells thought. Humans have 1.6 trillion skin cells. So that's all 1.6 trillion of my skin cells falling off my body and onto the stairs. Pretty soon I'll have no skin cells left. I'll look like Anakin Skywalker after he crawled out from the lava with absolutely no skin left. But then I'll have to put on a Darth Vader suit, which has it's benefits but also its downsides. Because when I have to sneak through the house, all I'll hear will be that extremely loud, mechanical HUFF-HUFF-HUFF-HUFF-HUFF breathing sound coming from the suit. Wait, I am dust. That is equal parts awesome and terrifying. 

I could go on and on with this. For example, when will the factories stop making clothes? When will we all go bald? When will plastic be gone forever? When will my couch run out of foam to spit out? Am I supposed to know how the thermostat works by know? How do they know how many centimeters high the ice dancers jump in the Olympics? Why do bananas count as berries but strawberries don't? Why does Russia get to have a bigger surface area than Pluto? WHY IS NOBODY GONNA ANSWER MY QUESTIONS?!
