When the National Lottery Show first started in the UK there was an in-house psychic named Mystic Meg. She would make incredibly broad predictions that applied to about half the population, such as that week's winner having an M in their name (audience: "Ooooooooh!") or that they have a pet cat (audience: "Ooooooooh!") or some such nonsense. Brian Conley's lampooning of her (mentioned in the link) was hilarious, and not that far off Mystic Meg's actual predictions.
Despite these psychics being cranks, though some may actually believe in their supposed abilities, they can have quite a following and rake in the money from vulnerable, sometimes desperate individuals. There is, of course, no way to regulate this industry short of shutting it down.

In addition, some of them have various mental disorders that cause them to 'hear' voices, 'see' guidance from external forces, 'see' auras around people, etc. So they may genuinely believe that they have some kind of special insight.

Yes, I agree. I wish they would all be shut down, although if you are going to close them down, you would likely have to shut down a wide variety of "prediction" services, such as the fellows who predict the winner and the score of football games.

That's cool, as long as you don't mind being on that one ship to be sunk by a giant cephalopod. Yeah, cephalopods evolved from other mollusks, so you'd be killed by what is basically from the tail end of a slug.

I am 100% certain I will not be on a cruise ship, anywhere in the world, any time this year.

This stupid fucking woman must be jumping for joy - she predicted a terrorist attack in Paris and one has occurred.
You would think that if she was actually psychic that her prediction would have be less vague.

As is obvious to most everyone that wasn't a prediction as much as an easy guess. The way things have been going lately anyone could predict such a thing happening in any major European city and something would probably occur. We can only hope that nothing else occurs on such a tragic scale.

As for a possible attack on airforce 1 -
It'll be in fact a mass-invasion of Asian ladybugs. Truely a "Red Scare", though propably not the sort infamous MacCarthy had presumed
And an attack on the president isn't exactly unusual either: he gets attacked in every single session of the senate.
Maybe you got closer than you think. What if in the new James Bond (or in any other action movie to be shot this year) an octopus does sink a small ship? Maybe Hollywood is planning the umptiest remake of 20,000 leagues below the sea?Giant Octopussy!

*leafes through 8 lbs dictionary, furiousely* was that not right? - Oh bother! umpteenth time, I meant of course.
LOL But who knows? Maybe I just created a hot candidate for word of the year or the urban dictionary!
(or maybe not - there was no prophecy about a German invention conquering the world)
Btw, just read through all those prophecies: apparently the jobs with the lowest unemployment rates this year will be terrorist, fireman and earthquake-watcher.

Well, presumably umpteenth means a large but indeterminate number, whereas umptiest means the largest possible number in context.
