Can Somebody Check the Temperature in Hell?

[Frontier]

So... you know how there is that old phrase/joke, about something being so improbable, that it would only happen if the equally improbability of hell freezing over where to occur?

Has anyone checked the temperature there, lately?

I mean, seriously. Too many unbelievable things have happened the past few years. Think about it.

The U.S.A. elected a black man with an ethnic-sounding name as president. The same guy who defeated once-considered shoe-in Hillary Clinton for the nomination.

The Red Sox won the world series. TWICE.

O.J. Simpson has been convicted of multiple crimes and is in jail for the better part of a decade.

A comic-book film (Dark Knight) has a shot at winning a number of non-technical Academy Awards. Like acting, directing, music, maybe even best picture (unlikely, but... look at the above list.)

FOX allowed a handful of genre shows to continue for a full season, rather than pull the plug after 9 or 12 episodes.

William Shatner is a multiple Emmy award winner. For ACTING.

There is so much more, I'm sure...

...It's pretty freaky though, don't you think? In a good way, but... weird, eh?

Reminds me of a Simpson's skit. They're watching the news, and a man wakes up from a 20 year coma, asks, "Do Sonny and Cher still have that stupid show?" to which the news guy replies, "No. She won an Oscar and he's a congressman." (or something like that) and the coma patient replies "Goodnight!" and drops dead.

Britney Spears - who crawled through a river of shit and came out clean on the other side. Seriously, who would have thought that she'd be doing better? I'd have thought she'd offed herself by now. As terrible as it is to even think, I thought that was the direction she was heading.

I'm still waiting for Britney's requisite "Fall From Grace 'Tasteful' Nude" pictorial spread.

I just checked. It is indeed a cold day.

I won't believe it until the Detroit Lions win a game.

I've checked. There are several snowballs lying around and more than half a dozen cats playing with them. Looks like this climate change thing is really starting to bite.

Here you are. It is indeed freezing over.

Actually the temperature has been slowly rising due to Satan and his minions driving large, fuel-inefficient SUVs that fail to meet modern emission standards, not to mention all the burning human flesh - just imagine how much carbon dioxide that produces. Scientists have predicted that by 2020 the mean temperature in Hell could rise another 10 degrees, and that the lower-lying levels of Hell may flood due to Dante's frozen lake thawing.

Here you are. It is indeed freezing over.

Yep

This reminds me of something I read in a book about space exploration today. It talked about a Gallup poll in 1949 that asked people what things they thought we would achieve before the year 2000. 88% said we would have a cure for cancer, 63% said our trains and planes would be run by atomic power, and only 15% said we would reach the moon. Oh how wrong they were.
