World to End at Strike of Midnight

A Swedish monk has predicted today that the end is near. Very near. UPDATE - 8:30 am, PDT - The entire staff of It's News, Dammit! is pleased to announce that the world did in fact not end at midnight. We will therefore be able to continue our tradition of bringing you the news you need to know!

As the clock strikes midnight over a part of the Pacific Ocean, says Gunnar Lövdén, the world will come to an unspectacular, unclimactic end.

Lövdén, well respected in his country for his holy works, offered little in the way of details, only stating that he has never been more sure of anything in his life.

As this reporter prepares for the coming end, he can only help but wonder: how will it happen? And why at midnight in the middle of the ocean?

Farewell, faithful readers. It's time to meet your maker(s).
