Like your constant brainless muttering that we might lose another Shuttle,
which most people understood would likely happen, and then you running around

Now, when I was in school, we had one Professor who was extremely brilliant
and more than a bit eccentric. This was in Noo Yawk, not when I was in
California, and he got up in front of the class one day and stated that from
that day on, at the start of each class, he would make one completely crazy

his predictions came through, everyone will not pay attention to the ones he
missed but think him to be a total genius. A no lose situation. So for that
first prediction he said that we would have an earthquake. Of course, since
this was out on Long Island, it wasn't exactly the place for earthquakes;
that's California, where the quakes shake loose all of the loose nuts and
bolts, and I and my friends didn't recall ever hearing of one in our area.

detected by instruments, the time was after class had let out ...
