Every year, the tabloid The Sun gathers together a panel of "blue ribbon" psychics to predict the events of the coming year. And 365 days later, Skeptical Inquirer writer Gene Emery can write the amusing follow-up article of how wrong they were. For example, in 2005 alone, cures were supposed to have been found for "Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, Alzheimer's, psoriasis, alcoholism, heart disease, arthritis, strokes, and obesity." Nope. The psychics apparently also had trouble forseeing the London subway bombings, though they did feel a plane would crash into the pyramids.
I'm probably only mentioning this article so as to print the more outlandish and imaginative predictions, such as:
-"The government rolls out new rules allowing flying cars into the airways."
-"Twenty astronauts sent on a Mars mission return to Earth and promptly resign from NASA to join the priesthood."
-My favorite: "NASA astronauts surveying a planned lunar colony find a Nazi flag planted on the dark side of the Moon."
