A photo series on CNET shows the tech advances that have occurred since the Cubs last won the World Series:
The Chicago Cubs are back in the World Series for the first time since 1945. They haven't won it since 1908.
Man managed to conquer the skies before the Cubs could conquer another World Series. On January 1, 1914, the first scheduled commercial airline flight soared across Florida, from St. Petersburg to Tampa. As the Cubs remain grounded in their World Series hopes over the next century, flight developed to the point where Uber just released its plans for on-demand urban air transportation.

Actually, the real sports-related sign of an imminent apocalypse is if the Cleveland Browns win the Super Bowl, especially in the same year as the Cleveland Indians winning the World Series and the Cleveland Cavaliers winning the NBA championship: In that highly unlikely event, please remember to keep your head down to dodge the aerial swine.

I could really go for that. Ohio should catch a break.
Chicago, though, I have laid my curse upon them. If they win, it means the Anti-Christ now walks among us.
