What's the most impressively accurate prediction that has been made in history ?

Definitely not the end of the world in 2012.
I hear some people even killed themselves over it.
F-ing morons

Someone's gettin off-ed in the next episode of Game of Thrones...horribly

That 'history repeats itself'.. Just the justification, rationaltion, weapons & what we call it changes.

"" At a campaign event in 2007,
former presidential candidate Mitt
Romney shared his views on what
could happen in Iraq if the situation
was not handled with care. He said:
“You could see in the Shia
south, the Iranians reaching
over and grabbing to take
power. You could see in the
Sunni northwest, the Al-
Qaeda folks taking power
and leadership in that
area.”
“You could see the unrest
among some of the Kurd
populations and
surrounding countries,
perhaps destabilize the
border of Turkey. And it’s
even possible that you
might think a regional
conflict in the Middle East
may occur.”
Romney’s predictions are so accurate,
it’s almost eerie. And here’s why:
1. In the last 48 hours the Iranian
government sent 2,000 troops to Iraq
to help quell the current insurgency.
2. The Al-Qaeda linked group ISIS
composed of Sunni militants have
successfully captured the
northwestern Iraqi cities of Mosul
and Tikrit.
3. The Arab Spring has created
unrest in 17 nations with an Islamic
majority.
I guess that’s what happens when
you gaze into the crystal ball of
common sense. You see things as
they really are.""

Sugar Ray Robinson’s Deadly Premonition


In A Nutshell

Before defending his welterweight title in 1947, boxer Sugar Ray Robinson had a dream that he would kill his opponent. He agreed to continue with the fight only after being convinced by a priest that everything was going to be all right. That night, true to his nightmare, he proceeded to beat 22-year-old Jimmy Doyle to death.


The Whole Bushel

Since the corruption of figures like Don King, boxing has seen a steep decline, but it was once among the most popular sports. One of the greatest stars of the bygone era was Sugar Ray Robinson (born Walker Smith Jr.), a middleweight champion who dominated in the mid-20th century. Sugar Ray has been cited by many (including fellow boxers Muhammad Ali, Joe Louis, and Roberto Duran) as the best pound-for-pound fighter in history.

In 1947, while fighting as a welterweight, Robinson was scheduled to take on a man named Jimmy Doyle in Cleveland, Ohio. The night before their bout, Sugar Ray had a horrible dream—that he killed Doyle in the ring with a left hook. Terrified, he refused to fight until promoters actually got a Catholic priest to assure him that his premonition was baseless.

Jimmy Doyle never stood a chance. He put up a valiant effort, actually winning the sixth round, but Robinson beat him soundly. In the eighth round, Sugar Ray unleashed a left hook that knocked Doyle to the mat. He was rushed to St. Vincent’s Charity Hospital, but died a few hours afterward. There was talk of bringing Robinson up on manslaughter, but no charges materialized. Sugar Ray was deeply affected by the incident. When he learned that Doyle had been saving up money to buy his mother a house, he set up a trust to take care of her for the next 10 years. Jimmy Doyle was just 22 years old.
