Four Little Ducks


According to the stats section of my homepage on blogger, this is the 2222nd blog I have posted.
I would love to do a well-researched, fact-packed collection of paragraphs all about the number 2222 and its relevance to humankind and human history, but I’m very tired and very busy, due to the fact that we have a 10-day old baby in the house!
So instead, I have decided to mark the occasion with a list of predictions about what I think the world will be like in the year 2222AD:

The Sun (in space) will be sponsored by The Sun (the newspaper) and will effectively be a big advertising logo hanging in the sky all day.

My descendants will include a Nobel prize-winning physicist, a celebrated author of romantic fiction, and a criminal/hero responsible for the assassination of an unpopular political leader.

Ed Sheeran will still be dominating the singles charts.

Our bodies will have rapidly evolved to the point where we are born with a smartphone embedded in the palm of our hand.

Nipples will be the official currency of Europe.

A lunar colony will have been established on the Moon. It will be located at a site called ‘The Boris Johnson Memorial Crater’ which was created by that bumbling British f**kwit crash-landing there after being launched into space by NASA following an ill-advised comment at Donald Trump’s birthday party.

Scrabble will be known as ‘Tiley-Word-Pain.’

Human involvement in sport will have been reduced to voting from home via a keypad while watching genetically-enhanced robots fight each other with celery sticks.

The Queen will still be our monarch.
