Not So Clairvoyant Predictions


This time it's in Scotland, where Reuters tells us that a Scottish Golfer Was a 19th Century Nostradamus:
He was a Scottish professional golfer in the 19th century but he predicted bullet trains, driverless golf carts, televisions and digital watches.

Now the little-known book, "Golf in the Year 2000 or What Are We Coming To" by McCullogh under the pseudonym J.A.C.K is up for auction.

Driverless golf carts became a reality in the 1980s, Japan's bullet train went into operation in 1964 and digital watches were all the rage in the 1970s.

McCullogh even predicted international team golf competitions like the Ryder Cup which was first played in 1927.
Of course, the dipshits at Reuters then explain that this guy has nothing in common with Nostradamus.
Michel de Nostradame is credited with having foreseen many of the key events in history from the fire of London in 1666 to the destruction of the Challenger space shuttle in 1986.

But unlike McCullogh writing in clear English, his predictions are hidden in 942 cryptic poems that have generally been deciphered after the events they foretell.
Not that making these predictions were difficult. Golfers from across the world playing each other? NO FUCKING WAY!

I can be Nostradamus too. You want to see some predictions?


Some guy will rail Kate Hudson, and on the same day she has his child Goldie Hawn will have a grandchild.


Eva Longoria's green card will expire, at which point some charming man by the name of Johnny will offer to marry her to keep her in Los Estados Unidos.


JC Chasez, pictured with Eva, will be on an episode of Surreal Life by 2010. On an unrelated note, if he doesn't leave Eva alone I cannot guarantee he will survive til then.


For the next 30 years, there will be a nightly free for all to tap that ass.

See how easy that is? Besides, this Scottish dude got his most important prediction wrong:
Jack McCullogh also predicted that women would start dressing like men and do all the work while their menfolk took to the golf courses full-time.
I wish.
