[ExI] A Paranormal Prediction

[Ben Zaiboc]

As John K Clark has been banished from this list, and I feel that his 
annual paranormal prediction is an important message for all those who 
consider themselves to be rational, I'm posting this in his place. The 
message shouldn't be necessary, but sadly, it still is, for the 
seventeenth year running:

One year ago I sent the following post to the list, I did not change one 
word. One year from now I intend to send this same message yet again.

Happy New Year all.

I predict that a paper reporting positive psi results will NOT appear in 
Nature or Science in the next year. This may seem an outrageous 
prediction, after all psi is hardly a rare phenomena, millions of people 
with no training have managed to observe it, or claim they have. And I 
am sure the good people at Nature and Science would want to say 
something about this very important and obvious part of our natural 
world if they could, but I predict they will be unable to find anything 
interesting to say about it.You might think my prediction is crazy, like 
saying a waitress with an eighth grade education in Duluth Minnesota can 
regularly observe the Higgs boson with no difficulty but the highly 
trained Physicists at CERN in Switzerland cannot. Nevertheless I am 
confident my prediction is true because my ghostly spirit guide Mohammad 
Duntoldme spoke to me about it in a dream.

PS: I am also confident I can make this very same prediction one year 
from today.
