Howdy all!
This Friday, I'd be wrong to not feature Brad Pitt's Dr. Fauci impression from last weeks SNL out of the gate. "Miracles shouldn't be 'Plan A.' Even Sully tried to land at the airport first." Outstanding!
That being said, it's time to ask the question; is 2020 the worst year ever?
Not even close. Hey, so far it's been pretty rough, and I highly doubt things are going to become stellar by Autumn, but it would take a lot to make this year the worst of all time. Seriously it would take a lot to make 2020 worse than 536.
Scientists have actually tried to figure this out, and they stumbled upon the consensus 536 was a God awful year to be alive, and not just because of the lack of internet and how you could die of a tooth ache. How bad? The sun disappeared, and then it went downhill from there. Let me pass it off to Weird History and let them explain why no one is taking the time machine back to 536.
Then again, we really haven't seen this planet get its worst. Currently we are ramping up on the heat scale and are very likely to have a massive die off on the planet in the next hundred years or so, but eventually the planet will cool back down. That's how these things eventually go.
PBS Eons takes us back to the REALLY bad days; the last TWO TIMES the planet froze over.
On that bright note, have a great weekend everyone!
