Imagine this: You’re traveling, and after a day of sightseeing you just want to relax in your hotel room and chill with Netflix. You fire it up and search frantically for your favorite show, but it just isn’t there. What gives?

This theory isn’t new. It cropped up in 2003 and nothing happened. It was revised again to 2012 and nothing happened. I’ll let you guess what the outcome of this new doomsday date will be. Read more…
