Did you hear that the world is ending on Friday? That's according to three scientists in the 1960s.
“Our great-great-grandchildren will not starve,” they said in an article in the journal Science published on 4 November 1960. “They will be squeezed to death.”
“The work was based on a simple observation,” said Science in October – “the time it took for the human population to double in size kept getting shorter”. So, drawing on population estimates from about 400BC until 1958, the authors “came up with an equation that best described the trend”.
By 2020, they predicted, the human population would exceed 25 billion, but the researchers “didn’t calculate when humanity would run out of food, land, or energy”. They merely concluded that “at some point” in 2026, their equation “ceased to give meaningful results because the predicted population shot towards infinity”.

Bad luck started with the Knights Templar in the 1700’s when the king of France couldn’t pay his debt of money he borrowed from the Templars.
He burned their leader at the post and killed as many as he could before they fled the country.

Missed on first post dang
Hmmm??? It’s already November 14 in East Asia. So maybe another miss?
Actually it ended on 11/03/2026.
Some mistakenly believe it would be a sudden catastrophe event.
Reality is that it more closely resembles the sinking of the S.S. America.
I hope they didn’t spend their entire grant in one place.
Tonight we’re going to party like it’s ... 11/13/2026 ...
Trends reverse.
Should I put my meatloaf back in the freezer?
You can certainly look at it that way.
The Steppenwolf song “Move Over” is appropriate, I.e. if you want to retire, get out of the way.
Yes, and don't buy any green bananas.
Check!
MS saved us all. There was to be an email sent early this morning and it could not be sent.
If it makes “Bat Out Of Hell” sound better, why not!
