December 29, 200421 yr Ever been to Europe? Plenty of Gypsies, Astrologers, and other Mystics over there. It really isn't that odd for people to want to ask them things. Just look at the popularity of that Ms. Cleo scam.

December 29, 200421 yr A Tunisian astrologer who reportedly predicted the deaths of Princess Diana, Hamas leader Sheikh Ahmed Yassin and Yasser Arafat says President Bush will be killed by an assassin's bullet in 2005. I cannot believe how gullible some of you people are. What's next? Do you want to come and read my coffee grounds??? Remember High School English Class?? The most important word in the first sentence is the word : Reportedly. Al Gore reportedly invented the Internet. That wasn't true either. If you believe the story, I've got some prime land I want to sell you on the west coast of Florida......
December 29, 200421 yr other predictions for 2005 by hassan al sharibi: mahmood abbas will be assassinated. osama bin laden will be captured (dead or alive). saddam hussein will die before his court case starts. a senior iraqi cleric will be the target of an assassination attempt (duh). another scandal worse than abu ghraib will hit US forces in iraq (duh).
December 29, 200421 yr its amazing what rich people will spend money on. 644400[/snapback] If I had that kind of money and my kid asked to visit an astrologer, I'd take away their trust fund, write them out of my will, then boot them out of the house. There are far more productive ways to spend money, such as, burning it, flushing it down the toilet, tearing it into useless shreds, etc. 644407[/snapback] :lol You guys are just so funny :lol I was just kinda curious Fritz... what do you think Astrologers do? They do not predict the future.
December 30, 200421 yr IMO, mostly they seperate marks from the mark's cash. 644531[/snapback] Tonyi is on the money. They're great capitalists.
January 1, 200521 yr We've had 40+ presidents and several assassinations so far. Given the past time distributions - ~40-70 years per incident, we're coming due for another. 643880[/snapback] Reagan broke the Curse of assassinations or deaths for every 20 years for every president that was elected on the zero year. William Henry Harrison-elected 1840 Abraham Lincoln-elected 1860 James Garfield-elected 1880 William McKinely-reelected 1900 Warren Harding-elected 1920 FDR-reelected 1940 John F. Kennedy-elected 1960 Nice curse huh? 643891[/snapback] actually, if you think about it, his 2000 term is about up. So, the curse is broken, even if he gets whacked when the new term begins.
January 1, 200521 yr Bush won't die before the end of his first term because the Red Sox won the world series. :plain 644005[/snapback] It all ties down to baseball doesn't? :o
January 1, 200521 yr I believe the "string" or "streak" being discussed earlier was that of every President ever elected in a year ending in "0" (zero) in our nations history either had an assasination attempt (successful or not) on his life or died in office. Bush is due. But I hope he doesn't get shot. Because then we're stuck with Cheney and thats even worse.
January 1, 200521 yr I think the assassin will be sneaky and try to kill him by giving him a bag of pretzels. :plain

So the curse wouldn't be broken.
