Prophesy and prediction
Cabby Started conversation Aug 22, 2005
I've been working on a new website of my own over the last few weeks. I was discussing pseudoscience, prophesy, fortune-telling and suchlike with a friend one evening and we got onto the fact that you get lots of seers and futurologists making predictions ever year but then not really looking back at them after the event (unless of course they came true!). We thought that there should be a inpartial place to store predictions and then let the people at large decide which ones came true or not. Hence http://www.icanseethefuture.com was born!
You can view predictions other users of the site and professional seers have made and mark how well they have done. There's also an attempt to pick next weeks lottery numbers there and a few articles on the history of prediction and the people involved.
Still got a bit more work to do on it, but it's good coding practice if nothing else!
