so now you see how the expert charlatans do it. clever huh. pick something thats an almost certainty (old bloke on death bed to die soon), tie it to another certainty (headline would say "most trusted man in America passes away"), and link it to a known upcoming anniversary (Apollo landing).
And now give the followon prediction a YEAR to occur (Gorges dam to bust) If it doesnt happen so what. If it DOES happen within the next YEAR you can bump the thread and become the ultimate Indian giver. whoohoo.
