People Who Actually Predicted the Future

Common sense tells us that it’s not really possible to predict the future in any way, shape or form. Even the most off-handed, silly predictions will be correct from time to time; this is what we like to call the “Accidental Prophet Effect”, which is closely related to the “Even a Broken Clock Is Right Twice a Day Theorem”. Of course, some actually claim to be able to foresee future events, but these people almost invariably turn out to be full of crap.
