The Unmittigated Wooism of Sylvia Brown's Predictions.

[ImaginalDisc]

Since there's so much talk about Ms.Brown lately, I started to dig around on her website. Here are some of her prophicies for your consideration, with commentary, of course.

http://www.sylvia.org/home/2000plus.cfm

Eradication of cancer as we know it, using sound waves, photo sensitive drug therapy, and "self-addicting" cells.

What on Earth is a self-addiction cell?

Electrical cars with flotation ability for water travel to bypass freeways.

Is bypassing freeways the best possible application of this technology? Now, I live in Miami, so zipping out over the water might be nifty now and then, but I imagine that's of little use to the average person in Nevada.

Third floor of houses have rollback roofs to allow Hovercrafts to come and go.

This one speaks for itself.

Babies will be birthed in water all the time, with music, incense, and green and lavender lights.

That's right girls, you'll be giving birth "all the time", in water no less. Your hands will get all pruney.

Addictions will be a thing of the past because of a brain stimulation, which eradicates all addictions, with no side effects.

Now that's odd. Last I heard, animals which were given the power to stimulate their pleasure centers diddled themselves exactly like addicts, until they died of starvation. There's such a thing as psychological addiction.

Aliens will begin to show themselves in the year 2010, they will not harm us, they simply want to see what we are doing to this planet. They will teach us how to use anti-gravity devices again, such as they did for the pyramids.

Ms. Brown, just because you don't understand engineering and architecture, that doesn't mean that ancient Egyptians were equally ignorant.

Edit: Spelling

My favourites

This one's a cracker:

Atlantis will begin to show itself by 2023 and be fully visible by 2026.

She predicts reactionless propulsion, wicked:

No more gas propelled rockets in space; we will have nuclear powered cylinder shaped objects that travel everywhere.

And she's watched too many 70s SF flicks:

By 2055 most people will live in domed cities due to poor atmospheric conditions

What a crock. What's the point in these predictions?

in 2037 a man named Ralph will genetically engineer chocolate-flavour fish

oops, sorry, that last one wasn't actually true...

A while back, I wrote an article on that subject: Sylvia Browne: Predictions for 2000-2100

...and a very good job you did. I hadn't seen it before.

oops, sorry, that last one wasn't actually true...

It should be!

Robotic houses, controlled by computerized switchboard.

Transformers! Buildings in Disguise!

New exercise equipment that you sit or stand in, and it literally stimulates your muscles with electricity to achieve the same effect as physical exercise

Some kind of electric chair?

Atomic batteries will run cars

To the Batmobile! Atomic Batteries to power! Turbines to speed!

A moon base is created for people to visit, and as a stopping place for further trips.

Only 384400 km from this theatre!

14. People will be able to simply "walk out" of their bodies upon death.
15. There will be no US Presidency; our government will go back to a Greek Senate structure.

These two together just made me think Julius Caesar

Caesar: Et Tu, Brute! Then fall, Caesar [exit stage left
