L'Intransigeant - February 08, 25


The end of the world was predicted for February 6th

Do you know that you are lucky to wake up this morning in your bed? The end of the world was predicted for yesterday evening, between five and nine o'clock. It was predicted.
To tell the truth, this prediction was hardly known in France where we did not worry about it, we have so many other things on our minds, but in England, Germany, America, it was very widespread.

Can we say that we believed in it with the faith of the year 1000, no, doubtless, and an English newspaper published last Wednesday this announcement from a department store that was not without humor.
Because of the end of the world announced for Friday evening, our customers are asked to do their shopping early in the afternoon.

And this morning we are alive, but there is perhaps a slight delay.
