[extropy-chat] Re: Bad Forecasts!

[John K Clark]

My favorite bad prediction was made by an expert in 1901, "Not within a
thousand years will man ever fly", this man said. Normally I heap scorn on
such foolish statements but I won't in this case because this prediction was
made by a fellow by the name of Wilbur Wright after a series of extremely
disappointing glider experiments. His bogus prediction can be forgiven
because he was the very one who made it untrue; two years later Wilber
Wright was flying.
