A post count question...

Silvermoon, this is not a new discovery. It was reported in the Journal of Irreproducible Results in March of 1976. Sadly, I don't have a copy of the article, since I've never had a subscription. But here's an excerpt I found by Googling:

[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]"More than 6,869,797 issues of the National Geographic are published monthly. No copy has ever been thrown away since the magazine began over 140 years ago. Millions, if not billions, of copies have been innocently yet relentlessly accumulating in basements, attics, garages, libraries, etc. - and the accumulated weight is a figure that boggles the mind, but is imminently approaching the disaster point, when the geologic substructure of the country can no longer support the incredible load. The continent is in the gravest danger of following legendary Atlantis to the bottom of the sea, and publication of the National Geographic must be immediately stopped at all costs." [/font]

​

Given that it has been almost 30 years since this impending disaster was discovered, and no one has done anything about it, I think it's clear that the end of the world is nigh. So if I don't get to talk to you again beforehand, it's been nice knowing you.

She knows hat she's talking about, man; she's a librarian. Run for the hills!

Thank heavens someone believes me.

Thank heavens someone believes me.

Well, who could question the word of a librarian! I'd just hate to think that I am contributing to the world's destruction!

BTW, I started a thread with a link to this thread over in "Surrealism Central" on the Randomling's House board, as the topic seemed appropriate for that forum.
