'Back to the Future II' knows all – sort of
Twitter went nuts during the epic final game of the World Series, which finally saw the Chicago Cubs end its 108-year drought.
A small but loud pocket of that social network went crazy over another fact: "Back to the Future II" predicted this win, but was only off by one year. One year!
Who had the best tweet summing up this awesome bit of serendipity?
Michael J. Fox, of course. His post:
"Only off by a year, not bad. Congrats @Cubs. This is so heavy. #FlyTheW"
Marty McFly couldn't have said it better.
