Last week the great almighty, omnipotent and omnipresent Sollog
predicted that on Oct. 15 2003, Pope John Paul II would die. This
prognostication was a revision from a previous date (Oct. 8). Oct.
15
has come and gone, and the Pope is still alive.
Surprise! Surprise!
Not only is the 83-year-old Pontiff still alive, but on Oct. 15 he
commemorated his 25th anniversary as the head of the Catholic Church
by
speaking to his faithful listeners outside the Vatican
(http://www.newsday.com/news/nationworld/world/ny-wopope163496785oct16
,0,5756933.story?coll=ny-worldnews-headlines).
Now that Sollog again miscalculated the exact date of the Pontiff,
the
only option is to revise his date -- AGAIN -- after he insults those
who
call him on the carpet for this boo-boo, as well as his previous
blunders. Even if the Pope makes it past Christmas and remains
alive
until sometime in January or February of next year, Sollog, with his
abracadabra and hocus pocus, will take credit for one of his "hits."
Sollog's track record for prophecies is so dismal that Johnny
Carson's
character "The Great Karnak" seems more qualified as a soothsayer
than
Sollog will ever be.

Thanks.
"Predictions of the future are never anything
but projections of present automatic processes
and procedures, that is, of occurrences that
are likely to come to pass if men do not act
and if nothing unexpected happens; every action,
for better or worse, and every accident
necessarily destroys the whole pattern in whose
frame the prediction moves and where it finds
its evidence."
