Fellow forum members. My psi powers tell me that a terrible event is going to occur on September 20th, 2004. As you may know, our resident prognosticator, Lucianarchy, has predicted something bad to happen on Sept. 19th. As you also may know, he made a similar prediction for August 4th, which turned out to be totally false.

The backlash was terrible.

The amount of fecal matter that has been released by Luci into the forum environment since that time has caused widespread outbreaks of dyspepsia and nausia, accompanied by severe belly cramps (due to the laughter). Some posters have reported that their orbital sockets have become swollen from the excessive amount of eye-rolling this has spawned.

And it will happen again.

On September 20th, expect ferocious episodes of backpedalling, resulting in severe lameness in the excuse department. And that's just for Lucianarchy. The rest of us will probably suffer even more severe fits of risibility syndrome.

This is truly awful, somebody ought to do something about it - we need protection!

Have there been any peer reviewed studies on shielding methods? And do you think there is a conspiracy to cover up the truth about exposure guidelines?

Even more important, will a magic magnetic pendant protect me? The public needs to know!
 
In light of intelligence gathered from the opening post of this thread, the Department of Skeptical Hilarity has just increased the Credulity Alert Level to TEAL -- High Risk of Credulous Claims. Skeptics should remain vigilant and be aware of any statements worded in the future tense and report any actions resembling predictions or prognostication to your local "morning show radio" wacky DJs.
 
Ah, but you're all wrong. Something bad did happen on August 4th.

I hurt myself hitting my head against my desk after reading Luci's post.

Spooooooookeeeey

I predict that on Nov 3 approximately half the country will agree that you were right...

I am thinking it will be higher, regardless of the outcome.

I take issue with any claim that horrible events will occur September 19th. My birthday parties are generally well received by all.

Except for 1999. We shall not discuss 1999.

I predict that tomorrow John Kerry will waffle and George W Bush will say dumb things and some arabs will explode.

Lo, the Master has spoken.
