Like, Lenin told the Swiss he wouldn't live to see his country's revolution but they would theirs. He was wrong on both counts.
Some 60s overpopulation guru said that 50 million Americans would starve to death by the year 2000. That sort of stuff.

Scratch any religion, you'll find a bunch.
Still no comet coming to take the eunuchs up into space.
David Koresh, still hasn't risen from his tomb.
Jesus still hasn't shown up, despite claims that he would in 1844 by William Miller (7th day Adventist) or by all those people that knock on my door in the morning.
Still no race war, courtesy of Charles Manson or any of the survivalist nuts hiding in Idaho.
On the secular side, Where is My flying car?
or since that one is a bit dated by now.
Where is my fiery Apocalypse. Growing up in the 70s, I was assured an early, pretty, quick death in the atomic destruction of MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction). Now there was an Apocalypse, really can the tipping point for Global Climate Change, the end of anti-biotics & pesticides, or even Bird Flu even compare? I was promised a glowing fireball damn it, now all you can look forward to is a bankrupt pension and social security plan.

I pay little or no attention to prophecies and predictions. We cannot even get the weather prediction right, who how is anyone going to predict accurately a future event?
At best, all we can do is base what we think may happen on past events. History repeating itself, etc.

Check 'James Randi' on the web; it's a really good laugh. If you want a good one, start reading books about global warming from 10 years ago - they predict everything like California would be under the water to people bursting into flame (or just watch BB4's "The Great Global Warming Swindle")

Ellen White, the lady who started the Seventh Day Adventists, prophecide on two different occations the that Jesus would come back and the world would end on two specific days in the 1800's. She made many other strange predictions that didn't come true.
