Another Mathematical Prognostication Woo

[RVM45]

Have you guys heard of these people?

They claim to be able to predict the future by running {What sounds like} very sophisticated Baysean screens on very large volumes of public domain internet articles.

That would be unlikely enough, if they stuck to Socialogical predictions--but I hear-tell they're predicting a rather serious New Madrid Earthquake on or about DEC 15TH.

(I predict Obammy will win the presidential erection. Remember when it comes to pass...OH, er...)

Anyway, thought someone might get a kick; kicking thes dudes around...

To give them their due, there are plenty of light-hearted warnings like this one -
Returning Subscribers:

Returning subcribers (after the initial, or first time subscription), can come into any series for $70 USD. The ALTA series are the same for returning subscribers.The reduced rate is offered as the mere fact of resubscribing indicates a severe lack of mental stability, and the need for professional mental health help. So we keep the rates low to free up the subscribers funds for the obviously necessary professional mental health help.

sounds like a ripoff of asimovs psykomatematics, without the accuracy.
