Title: Valentine's Day - Bummer
Post by: MechAg94 on January 31, 2016, 10:11:14 PM
Movie Trivia for 2016.  I was watching Ghostbusters 2 this weekend.  Early in the movie during the World of the Physic that Bill Murry's character was hosting, one of the guests predicted the end of the world would occur on February 14, 2016.

At about 1:28 into this video which is about half way.

Has anyone's prediction about the end of the world EVER come true?
Since we're all still here, I'D have to  guess, NO.

I just thought it was funny.  I usually hear about this stuff after the fact.  I was interesting to watch an old movie and realize the date they picked was just around the corner.   =D

Believe this and not bother getting her chocolates,flowers, and the rest of the kit and it turns out not to have been accurate, you are going to wish the world had ended.

stay safe.

Mine have, repeatedly.  I frequently predict that it won't end today.

I figure I'll only be wrong once, and right every day until then.

Did you know that economists have predicted 7 out of the last 3 recessions?

Based on those examples, I doubt I would be worried.  The Simpsons have had decades to come up with all sorts of stuff.  Most of those examples are hardly even coincidental.  They got me the read through them though.

"Valentine's Day.  Bummer."

On the bright side, I don't have to buy my wife anything and I don't have to do my incomes taxes.  Yippee!

Fallout 4 predicts nuclear armageddon on OCT 23, 2077. I'll be long dead by then, so I don't worry. Of course it also predicts a future as seen from the 1950s- nuclear powered everything, including cars, motorcycles, houses having 1950s styling.

That's not outside the realm of possibilities for me to be alive. It is on the tail end of them, and at that age, I don't think I'd have to worry about dealing with the aftermath, anyway.

Aftermath at that age is fun; nothing to lose, and all those unclaimed guns just lying around...
