Hey Moak-- re BPS's rules:
"Predict the exact number of people who will be killed in the deadliest terror attack OUTSIDE IRAQ (feb1-Jan1)" (bolding mine)
Just FYI-- you may want to re-check your crystal ball. Or tea leaves. Or tarot. Or whatever future-predictors you got. |

Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

| Shoot. My Castro prediction-- made when I slaughtered a chicken and compared its liver to what it had in my Liver Omens for Dummies book-- is clearly not going to be worth much, since everyone else has him down, too. Maybe I should try tea leaves... |

Well, wouldn't all of us, bona fide skeptics, have the same answers?
