Well, I know that there is no hope Elijah will listen to any reason, but just for humor's sake, I will re-post the very clear prediction that Bananarama wrote of the September 11th attacks. Unlike Elijah's interpretations, I don't even have to stretch the words very much.
See, Elijah, I will bet you that I can take numerous crappy pop songs and pull predictions out of them and they will sound far better than yours. Would you explain to me how your Biblical POSTdicitions are different than Bananarama's? Other than, you know, the fact that I don't use a thousand really annoying colors.
Hot summer streets
And the pavements are burning
Obviously referring to the WTC and Pentagon being on fire. The pavement literally was burning in many places.
I sit around
Trying to smile but
The air is so heavy and dry
The air is heavy from the gigantic cloud of dust and debris that was kicked up after the towers collapsed. A very accurate description.
Strange voices are saying
Things I can't understand
Obviously referring to the terrorists, who spoke Arabic, which the writer, an English speaker, could not understand. This was a vision of them taking over the planes while speaking their native tongue
It's too close for comfort
This heat has got
Right out of hand
"Too close for comfort" refers to the fact that this would be the first major attack on U.S. soil since Pearl Harbor. It speaks to the notion that Americans previously felt invulnerable to world events. The 9-11 attacks were definitely "too close for comfort."
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Now you're gone
Very accurate, as the summer of 2001 was indeed a very cruel summer. The "you're gone" clearly refers to the World Trade Center, which is now gone forever due to the terrorist attacks.
The city is crowded
My friends are away
Away, in this case, obviously means "passed away," or dead, referring to the 3000 friends and loved ones who passed "away" on 9-11.
And I'm on my own
It's too hot to handle
So I got to get up and go
Terrorism became "too hot to handle," so the U.S. military had to "get up and go" to Afghanistan to remove the Taliban and attempt to catch Osama bin Laden.
I hope Randi will consider sending the million dollars to Bananarama. As I clearly illustrated, their predictions were dead on. Much more accurate than Jesus's.
That's it, I'm founding a religion.
