An alleged ‘time traveller’ from the year 2671 claims that aliens will crash to Earth on a giant meteor in the next few months.
He says there will be five huge events before May 2023.
Nov 30 - The James Webb telescope finds a planet that is a mirrored version of Earth.”
Dec 8 - a large meteor will hit Earth containing ‘new types of metals and alien species’.
Feb 6 - a group of four teenagers will discover ancient ruins and a device that opens ‘a wormhole to other galaxies’.
March 23 - A team of scientists exploring the Mariana Trench find ancient species.”
May 15 - a 750ft tsunami will hit the west coast of the USA, with San Francisco bearing the brunt.
Of course, the commenters have fun -
In the more than 2,000 comments, viewers were baffled as they either shunned the claims or probed Alaric for further answers.
One person commented: “Only the Simpson’s prediction have come true thus far.”
One jokingly asked: “If you’re real what am I gonna have for breakfast tomorrow?”
Another user asked ‘who wins the World Cup?’, while another wanted to know when McDonald’s ice cream machines ‘might work’ consistently.

A new poll found the average American will feel "hangry" 21,305 times in their life.
74% said it happens at least five times a week. Here are ten of the top places and situations you're most likely to feel hangry . . .
1. At home. Makes sense since we spend most of our time there.
2. At work.
3. While you're out shopping.
4. Running errands.
5. Traveling. Like on a long drive, or on a flight.
6. While you're exercising.
7. At a doctor's appointment.
8. At the pool, or a beach.
9. At a sporting event.
10. In a movie theater.
Here's one more random stat from the poll: 28% of people admit they've eaten food out of the trash before.

Just when it seemed like there was pumpkin spice everything, the jewelry company Angelic Diamonds has created the world's first Pumpkin Spice Latte engagement ring.
The ring features a "whipped cream-shaped" center diamond, surrounded by white diamonds and "orange sapphires encased in a cup-shaped claw." So it's supposed to LOOK like a PSL. (isn't the one thing about pumpkin spice taste and smell too??)
There's also a gold rose band, with white diamonds, orange sapphires, and emerald stones down the sides. And if the PSL connection isn't apparent enough, it also says "pumpkin spiced" on the inside of the band.
If this sounds expensive, it is. The ring is priced at $11,300. You can get more information at AngelicDiamonds.com.

Humans can live more than a month without food, several days without water, and according to one survey, maybe a few hours without WiFi.
A poll asked people what essentials they absolutely needed, and 55% said medicine . . . 53% said electricity . . . 51% said gas and heating . . . 48% said their electronics . . . and 46% said WiFi.
It's unclear what the full list of options were or how the question was posed.

Today's Useless Fact of the Day - Panera was originally called the St. Louis Bread Company. It's still the St. Louis Bread Company in the St. Louis area, where there are over 100 locations.
The name change to Panera came about in 1997, when it began expanding outside of St. Louis.
