It was one of those odd things. None of the usual suspects were in play. Sure anyone with half a brain cell knew the world was mired in endless debates over pollution, oil, nukes, religion, and money but nobody knew what would come next.
The real threat to mankind turned out to be extreme dandruff. Dr. Drypate discovered this recently on the archaeological digs outside of New Havana, Florida.
According to Dr. Drypate's Theory, when one of the diggers accidentally hit a Miami Sound Machine CD from the 1980's it caused a rip in The Space-Time Continuum causing human and mammal bodies to become extremely dry thus causing extreme dandruff.
However, to say this dandruff was extreme is an understatement. Dr. Drypate or no one else could find a cure of this condition. Thus within a week humans and mammals would literally turn into dust.
Most of the humans/mammals by this time were really flaky to say the least. They tried their best to cope with the condition. They raided department stores for all the moisturizers they could get their hands on. Some of the humans/mammals using gallons of moisturizer actually managed to stay alive for 2 weeks.
However, in the end it seems mankind was done in by the itchy scalp. Dandruff treating shampoos by this time cost $20,000 a piece. Most people could not afford this. Violent mob raids on retail outlets for the precious shampoos and moisturizers became common place.
It just goes to show you how hard the future is to predict. Sometimes things take strange turns. No one ever thinking of the possibility of Death by Dandruff.
