Weekly world news. That's not even one of their funnier articles.

Hopefully the exam answer I gave for my A-Level Media exam will be on here soon :D Naturally I couldn't photograph it as you're not allowed phones in the exam room, but it went like this:

We had to write an analysis of the opening scenes of the film Children of Men. Set in 2027, every human becomes infertile and are given a century until everyone is dead. The World's youngest person (at 18) was killed and there was uproar yadda yadda.

I answered

Bollocks. Even if all newborn babies as of 2008 were born infertile, it would be at least sixty years before the previous ‘youngest child’ wasn’t able to reproduce, not 2027!

I hate Media, so pretentious.

Erm... sorry to rain on your parade there harry, but i think you mis-understood some of that movie. The people weren't born infertile, there was an unexplained pandemic that left everybody infertile. Infertility was a relatively sudden occurence, not a natural degeneration of the species spanning generations of decreasing fertility. "Baby Diego" was the last person born before whatever it was had happened.

So, the "less than a century" thing is the optimistic expected lifespan of the youngest people on the planet. Though in reality, it'd probably be much less than that since infrastructure and medical facilities would cease to function without people to run them and people these days are rarely self-sufficient enough to live alone.
