Only 312 shopping days left until the end of the world. This just in from MIT. If a BIC lighter has 1,000 lights, and you use it 3 times a day to start a fire, and you only lose 1 per month, and you expect to survive for 20 years, and you don’t intend to use it to get an encore from a travelling band of minstrels, you will need to stash about 260 lighters.
