Perhaps Lindsay doesn't realize it, but she has data that pinpoint the date of the Singularity. Or the Rapture. Whatevs.

I'm not sure about the singularity, but it is clear that disposable razors are approaching chaos via blade doubling. See http://mathworld.wolfram.com/FeigenbaumConstant.html for the relevant graph. Pretty soon it will be impossible to guess the number of blades on any given razor from nanosecond to nanosecond.
