What About the San Diego Earthquake?

Alex, don't be too surprised if this "psychic" now claims that the mudslides ARE what he/she was "seeing." That's part of the "psychic" racket: retroactively fitting whatever happens into what you originally said. It's a scam, but the True Believers of the world will buy it, anyway.

Here's a prediction for ya: something medically-related will happen to the Pope over the next few weeks. Anyone want to bet against me (keeping in mind that I will claim that death is medically-related if and when JPII goes toes up)?

Funny how all the astrologers, psychics and the all the rest missed the tsunami. Maybe the planets were having a day off.

Any disciple can be psychically cynical when cyclical seismic predictions become precipitation, see?

Hairy is soooooooo alliterate.

"Here's a prediction for ya: something medically-related will happen to the Pope over the next few weeks."
Good prediction, Cranky. If he dies, that's medically-related. If he recovers, that's medically-related. If he stays in the hospital and does or doesn't get better ot worse, that's medically-related, too.
You're psychic, aren't you?

Okay, this is a true story. The only store open in my town on Christmas Day last was the Video store. Only hours before the Asian Tsunami, which struck horribly at Banda Aceh, I bought an old copy of Concert For Bangladesh. I was watching the video as the quake occured. Why, out of the hundreds of previously-viewed videos, I would choose Concert For Bangladash, so near in name to Banda Aceh, I don't know. Of course, a similar international relief effort was undertaken in both cases.

I bought a copy of Escape From LA today... hmmm...

Well, let's put it this way: I'm every bit as "psychic" as those professional "psychics" that Larry King pollutes CNN with regularly.

Actually, what I did in my original posting is exactly what a lot of those phonies do. They make a prediction that is extremely general and open to interpretation. Then, if ANYTHING even remotely similar to their "prediction" comes true, they take credit for having "foreseen" it.

Is there ANY chance that NOTHING "medically-related" will happen to the Pope in the next few weeks, especially when you consider how vague a term like "next few weeks" is? Hey, it works for Sylvia Brown; it MUST be good enough for little ol' me.

Time to evacuate Santa Monica!

I just bought "The Notebook." What town will be destroyed by that?!

In a totally unrelated event:

Wierd. Not only she got the place wrong, she got the date wrong too (assuming that she predicted February 23rd in American date - Asia, where I am, is 11-12 hours ahead of American Eastern Time).

Now I assume she's gonna say she meant Iran instead of San Diego. Hmmm...

oddly there was a very small earthquake in Encino today. Though there are small earthquakes happening all the time.

Did you rent "Encino Man" with Pauly Shore? If so, there's your reason right there.

Hairy, surely you know that Bangladesh was also hit in the Boxing Day Tsunami, although it wasn't affected as much as some other countries in the region.

Just don't rent any copies of "Dallas," OK?

It's spooky sometims... I watched "Apocalypse Now", and walked around screeching "TIGAH-IT WAS A TIGAH_HA HA" (watch the flick). In the next three days, there was a report of a tiger in a NYC apt., a tiger shot in an Iraqi zoo, and poor Roy got mauled.

At the very least, Hairy, you have a powerful sense of the zeitgeist.

Psychics are a bunch of bogus. They just think up stuff while they pick their nose.

There was an earthquake in San Diego today. The epicenter was just a few miles from my house. The shaking woke me up at 4am and I couldn't get back to sleep.

63.6% chance of a major earthquake in SD.
