The Inaugural Impending Doom Meter.

We are told on a regular basis that civilization as we know it will end in the next few months due to an ever changing variety of disasters, plagues, elections and general turmoil.

It would not be feasible to quantify a level of current doom as once doom levels hit a certain level the world will be too busy dealing with aformentioned doom for me to be able to update the doom meter, therefore leading to readings that might be falsely reassuring.

Instead, I present an occasional feature of this blog – The Impending Doom meter.

Levels of Doom are established using a proven formula of magic and superstition. Any inaccuracy of the meter will either be down to ‘unforseen complications of an unspecific nature’ or ‘due to the sheer will and determination of the human race’.
