Around the Internet is a story about Isaac Newton, discoverer of calculus, among other things…and, no, I won’t go into why I say discover rather than invent, is a story about him predicting that the “end of the world” would occur in 2060 A.D.. Most of the articles are blips simply stating that he did. It took going to the isaacnewton.org website to find the “Rest of the Story.” For those interested,

No Sleep, but Lovely Wonderful Rain.
I haven’t had any sleep…well, a nap of minutes, but that doesn’t count. Today is quiet — blissfully quiet. Whenver it rains, the world turns quiet, and it’s GREAT. I love the rain. I love that people stay in their homes sulking, allowing me to enjoy quietude. It’s wonderful.
Of course, I’m a little depressed, too. I just got wind of some more very ugly, ugly plans for the area and the neighborhood. I need to move far, far away where no human, only nature, moves the landscape. I absolutely abhor development of any kind. We’re just marring the planet. Ugly.
Know what we need? A world-wide virus to sterilize the entire human race and another one to attack any clones or in vitro fertilization attempts. Until we’re down to a stable population under 1 billion world wide. Then we need something to make sure we keep it at that level forever.
