Seriously now, if they're any bFM listeners out there, you'll have heard
of this guy called Ken Ring (a New Zealander), who predicts the weather
using lunar cycles.

The crazy thing is, his predictions are usually for a week (or was that
a fortnight?) in advance, and the results are just as (if not more)
accurate than those guys on the news or on the weather channel. 

He has some good theories aswell, like why the chinese keept with the
lunar calander, so they could co-ordinate the planting of their crops,
and why stone henge was aligned to the lunar phases. 

Anyway, the point I'm making is that past history, in a way, does
predict future events :).
