Sir Reginald Bottomtalker's incredibly true and accurate internet encyclowpaadia of world history: Part 0 The End of the world

The end of the world came in 20million BC, time being circular though put’s it somewhere in our future tense. It was of course caused by all the standard formulas, overpopulation, pollution, nuclear war and extra-terrestrial invasion by lizard people (who latter colonized the planet and became what is known to us now as “dinosaurs”).

The end of the world was of course predicted by several reputable sources, all of them got the general idea right, but the dates wrong. The most accurate prediction came from a cartoon television series called “The Flintstones” . This series movingly documented the final chapters of human existence, during humanities enslavement under the lizard people. Although the producer never managed to get his final episode “Barney and the day of blood” aired on national TV.

Religious texts often covered the topic of doomsday. In the Book of revelations, god reveals to a sandal clad hippie, that the earth is to be destroyed by fire. Many interpret this to mean nuclear war, however the correct interpretation was that Mrs Mavis McCloud (a cleaner at NASA) would flick the butt of her cigarette onto an essential piece of computer equipment, shorting it out, and thusly ruining the space program intended to redirect the impending impact of a deadly ice-comet. Well done Mavis.
