Why do we keep National Geographics?

It's an interesting question (better than one about what to do with saved fruitcakes) and the Sacremento Bee has taken a look at people who hoard the yellow bordered wonder that arrives monthly.

I have periodically thinned my collection, mostly due to space constraints and my incessant habit of moving every few years. (Do you have any idea how much a 30 year collection of NGs weighs?) (About 450 pounds, if you're curious.)

Thanks to Romenesko for the tip.
