On Valentine’s Day, I canceled my OkCupid date (sorry, fr33zyfr33ky) to hang out at dance club Columbus 72 with the Amazing Kreskin, the 73-year-old mentalist and self-made millionaire who you’ve undoubtedly seen on late-night TV. Kreskin has been making prophecies for more than 50 years. He predicted both the 9/11 tragedy and the Giants winning Super Bowl XLII by three points. Basically, he’s crazy psychic. And what more could you want in a wingman?………….

Apparently not content with having bees do all the dirty work of sniffing out bombs, the Navy is now seeking proposals for methods of actually predicting where bombs will be placed. According to Wired’s Danger Room, the Office of Naval Research is looking for both “theoretical and technical approaches,” which would not only allow for the prediction of bomb placements, but give them the ability to identify and localize bomb makers, predict changing threat tactics, and track the components being used in bomb assembly, among other feats of prognostication. On the technical side of things, the Navy’s apparently has a keen interest in “advanced sensor networks,” which would automatically detect when a bomb has been placed, allowing them to neutralize ‘em with minimal human involvement. Those looking to get in on the action better act fast though, as proposals are due July 20th.

On Februrary 1, 2008 Kreskin went on Fox Business News: America’s Nightly ScoreBoard and predicted the super bowl. He put it in a chest, inside a box and locked it in the office of the station.

Then on Tuesday Februray 5, 2008 Keskin went back to the show and had the host David Asman open the box with a knife and key.

Inside was the prediction which consisted of the statements:

Kreskin predicted that the Giants would win

That the Giants would win by 3 (Final Score 17-14)

Kreskin further stated that if he failed in his prediction he
would turn over $10,000 of his own money to charity.
