Snopes reports on an interesting load of old (as in period) nonsense from the Second World War. It’s a particularly desperate bit of numerology, complete with fudged Christian overtones (‘Il Duce’ instead of ‘Mussolini’, just to contrive the name ‘Christ’?). Can’t blame ‘em I suppose, with Western civilisation at stake, but I like to think that I would look for a more rational means to look forward to the end of a conflict. I wonder what the Email forwards of World War 3 might look like?
