"I wanted to see if I could figure out how you're making the words appear in the first place," he says. "And she's on solid ground there, if you wanted to know. Based strictly on rumours encountered in the demonic community, I'd estimate the global rate of serious attempts to end the world per year at around two - not always particularly competent attempts, mind you, but it doesn't need to be all that competent to succeed in the absence of opposition. Luckily for the world, there always seems to be oppositon. That's counting world takeover by demonic forces under 'end of the world', but discounting any plan that would have failed on its own merits even without external intervention; I have no way of estimating how frequently a group of demons gets together over drinks and engages in ultimately fruitless discussion of their long-held dream to bring about about hell on earth, but I suspect the number is high."
