Verily the end of the world is nigh...


Looking at the text, funny enough by itself, I couldn't fail to recall the words of Wonko the Sane* on a very much related subject:
It seemed to me that any civilization that had so far lost its head as to need to include a set of detailed instructions** for use in a package of toothpicks, was no longer a civilization in which I could live and stay sane.
. So there.

(*) If you haven't read "So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish" by late and much lamented Douglas Adams, this is the right time to do so. Wonko the Sane appears in this book.

(**) The detailed instructions on a package of toothpicks Wonko mentioned are:
Hold stick near center of its length. Moisten pointed end in mouth. Insert in tooth space, blunt end next to gum. Use gentle in-out motion.
