Now that the Cubs finally won the World Series does that mean that the world is going to end?

As evidenced by past experience, the last time the Cubs won the World Series 108 years ago, the world did not end. I doubt that it will this time either.
There is only one living person on earth today, who was actually alive and well here on earth when the Cubs won the World Series the first time in 1908. That person is a woman who currently resides in Italy. She is 117 years old, although quite physically challenged. Her mind is still sharp and she still eats 3 eggs per day like she has done all her life.
When the Cubs won their first World Series in 1908, that Italian woman was a 9 year old girl living in Rome. She reported hearing about the Cub's first win several months after they had won in 1908, because communications back then were not what they are today!

That girl was also 8 when the Cubs won in 1907 so she has seen it all!

@yugimotodm: True, she has seen it all! That point was raised with her during the interview, of her "seeing it all". Her response was that she has actually "seen it all.. twice".
She said that nothing actually changed from one generation to the next, because everything just repeated itself when those who did it the first time 'died off' and those who then followed, merely did it the same way their predecessors tried it while thinking it was THEY who were the pioneers of an idea!
She said, "The same idea of life just keeps going around and around in a circle, making technological advancements for sure, but essentially remaining the same each time around".

I agree I don't think any generation of people is to different from the other!

@yugimotodm: Those observations of her's makes history somewhat redundant, doesn't it! Why bother studying history when it's inherent lessons are rarely observed, considering the notion that we are experiencing history today as we do everything for what appears like 'the first time'.
It's like we have all been here before, but are doing the same things over again just like the first time, yet pretending to ourselves that it's the 'first'!
