Truth in tabloids
The Sun tabloid (U.S. Enquirer-style, not to be confused with the U.K. publication of the same name) was at the grocery checkout of my local supermarket tonight.
INDIAN DOOMSDAY PROPHECY!, announced the headline. There was a picture of an individual in badly-faked Native American ceremonial makeup, and a reference to an ancient burial site. It continued: “You will never believe how and when the world will end!”
Well, considering that I’m fairly sure the concept of “billion” did not exist in any Native American civilization’s mathematics, this is almost certainly true! Quite impressive for this publication!
