So there you are. Today is November 1st, 2019. You're dining by yourself in a crowded sports bar, enjoying a beer with a massive group of strangers. It's a good beer -- a Pilsner.
All around you, you hear the chatter of fans cheering, bartenders serving beverages, servers tending to tables, friends and family of strangers laughing and discussing their great plans for 2020 and how amazing of a year it will be.
Suddenly, a man walks over to you. He seems a bit out of place, almost as if he doesn't belong. He's an older man, but not elderly. He's older than you are, for sure. After talking with him, he tells you that he can only tell you two things:
1. He was born in the year 2009.
2. He tells you a timeline of all the things to come in 2020.
Immediately, you think he's crazy. For starters, he was not 11 years old, that's for sure. Secondly, how can all the things he mentions, possibly happen in a single year, and especially when literally everyone around you can't seem to stop talking about how great of a year it will be. What is he, a time-traveler? Ha! Yeah right. There's no way that even half of what he says is true! I mean, he's clearly off his meds, right? This man must be absolutely insane! Right?
WRONG.
