Ah, of course. Here I spellchecked “guarantee” and missed the more obvious error. I am “sew” ashamed. :smack:

This guy’s about at a par with our local weather forecasters.

He has also predicted that:

1. The Pope would die
2. Randall Cunningham would have his neck broken.
3. Howard Stern would die.

All of these things were supposed to happen 6-7 years ago.

I think this falls into the “even a blind squirrel finds a nut sometimes” category. Go into dejanews and do a search for SOLLOG. It appears that this guy does nothing but preach apocalyptic disaster in various vague but exclamation-point laden ways. (Being off by three years doesn’t exactly impress me as a nice or accurate prophecy.)
