Citing a dearth of death the Grim Reaper has postponed purchase of new scythes and laid off hundreds of staff.
Turning
good news into bad, leave it to the main stream media. A sharp drop in

Shiite Muslims aspire to be buried and millions already have been,
business isn't good.
A
drop in violence around Iraq has cut burials in the huge Wadi al Salam
cemetery here by at least one-third in the past six months, and that's
cut the pay of thousands of workers who make their living digging
graves, washing corpses or selling burial shrouds.Source:
