NEW YORK, Tuesday - Prince Charles was not trampled by a herd of elephants Lee Majors did not go into space no cure was found for migraine headaches and Richard Burton's ghost did not return.

These were some of the predictions, made for 1985, which just didn't come about.

Out of hundreds of published predictions, many were so vague that it was impossible to tell whether they came true. Others were fogged with "might" or "may" to lessen the danger of being wrong.

"Psychic" Sylvia Brown, who is seen on TV, predicted a major scandal involving the Academy Awards with allegations they were rigged.

She also foresaw health problems for Vice-President George Bush as well as earthquakes in Canada and Alaska. She predicted a new injection treatment for breast cancer as well as a breakthrough in the treatment of arthritis.

...
Not a great year for crystal-ball gazers.

Hardly impressive "predictions".

Predictions over the course of a year are the safest bet for a psychic. No one is ever going to call you on it because by the time they can be proven wrong the year is over and no one remembers or cares...cause they want to know the predictions for next year! :rolleyes:

By the time they don't come true, they're long irrelevant and outdated. Also why predictions for the next 10, 25, 50, 100 and 1000 years are popular with psychics.

Woohoo! More predictions of earthquakes. She must be, like, psychic or something. Has there ever been a year when she didn't predict earthquakes.
And how much you want to bet those medical treatments were announced in the press prior to her predictions.

I predict for the remainder of 07 there will be rain. Wow! Sometimes I even impress myself.
This is not one of those times.
