[ExI] A paranormal prediction for the next year

[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 
eighteenth 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.

         John K Clark
