did you know that dickens

invented thirteen thousand characters? thirteen thousand! that's a character a day for the whole of his working life. what have I done today? dropped the kids off at school, listened to the new National album, played a stupid game on my computer... that's why I'm not dickens: kids. dickens' wife would've done the school run. I'm all for feminism but it's cost me my one shot at immortality.
