WAR, Famine, Pestilence and Death have a fifth companion known as Stupidity, experts have discovered.
The find was made in an obscure passage in the Apocrypha of St Nigel, a little-known fifth-century Saint who is patron of talking loudly in pubs and deliberately driving your car into a tree.
St Nigel was martyred after falling down a manhole to the sound of a host of angelic sad trombones.
Bible expert Tom Logan, from the Institute of Studies, warned the discovery suggested the end times might be upon us.
He said: “The passage in question makes a direct reference to the ‘last trump of doom’ when Stupidity would ride forth to bring manifold miseries upon all the lands of the Earth.

“And all comments threads followed after him.”
