The July 10 , 1873 Decatur Republican ( Decatur , IL ) key , in a rather condescending personal manner , a prediction of one Professor Plantamour . It seems Plantamour was lovesome of attain forecasting involve comets , predicting in 1872 that Plantamour ’s Comet wouldcollide with Earthon August 12 , 1873 . After it was evenhandedly sure that such an event would not take place Prof. Plantamour moved his disaster dates further into the futurity . In the case of this prediction from 1873 , the year 2011 would bring about a wholly frozen Earth .

We have heard from our friend , Prof. Plantamour , again . Last yr he prophesied we were to be burned up . Now he declare in a newspaper just bring out in Paris , that everybody will be freeze to death in the yr 2011 . We are glad to have the date accurately fixed , for we shall arrange for our living insurance policy to expire in the year 2011 . The first news of the freeze will appear in the Saturday Evening Post for Jan. 1st , 2011 , an we shall offer as a premium to clubs that yr , an all - woolen overcoat four fundament thick , with an air plastered stove in each breast pocket , and a flatulence heater in the tail , and an undetermined grate transcription at the collar . The getter up of two clubs will have a pair of skate , and a double breasted pink singlet thrown in . Persons who like to contend for these prize , can send out their subscription now , from this twelvemonth to 2011 , so as to make the thing certain . No paper shall pulsate us , if we have to get up a corner in a double - breasted undershirts and create a terror in the market . — Max Adeler
