Can the future be predicted 100 years in advance?

@Sh Classic!

My predictions:

Ubi will be working on SH75: Chahuahuas of the Baja. Sink the drug submarines

Planet of the apes will come true

The CSA (Chinese States of America) will finally subdue Idaho and Montana

The Vikings will finally win a superbowl

Jimbuna will have 400,000,000,536 posts

Steed will come back, for the 85th time.

Neal will be riding a suzuki walker in the old folks home

Sailor Steve will need to be carbon dated!

all of Europe will be speaking arabic

The Rolling Stones will do a Re-union tour in Vegas

@Nikimcbee
Except that the Vikings will never win a Superbowl, the rest of your predictions are probably on target...

Question though: If telephone psychics are so good, why don't they call You?

I kid you not, we had a psychic fair in Aylesbury cancelled due to 'unforeseen circumstances'

:rotfl: That's too funny to be true, right?

In constant movement the future is, says master Yoda. Be careful with painful visions that you want to prevent from coming true - a path to the dark side of the Force this is.

I assume he was talking about self-fulfilling prophecies.

The problem with these predictions are that they are made vague by the predictor and re-interpreted later, often after the event predicted occurs, and are re-tooled to fit the event or something that is seen as pretty bound to occur in the very near future. Just once, I'd like to see one of these guys predict something and tell us about it "SPECIFICLY" instead of the thing passing from person to person getting re-interpretted and re-tooled like the stuff above.

I took a parapsychology class for fun back in high school and I worked on de-bunking a LOT of this stuff.
