I ran into an epic Wiccan woo fail at work yesterday involving the 2005 hurricane season.

I was sorting through the book donations and one of them was a "witches' almanac" for 2005 and there was a section with Farmers-Almanac-style "predictions" for the weather that year. the "forecast" for August and September predicted a BELOW AVERAGE number of tropical storms and hurricanes in the Atlantic. 2005 was the year when we had so many tropical systems we had to use Greek letters.

ROFLMAO!!! :rofl:

1. heh

speaking of Farmer's Almanacs, has anyone ever gone back and double checked their accuracy?

I know the Skeptical Inquirer used to do annual checks of psychics' predictions that were always hilarious.

2. It would be fun to run accuracy of different weather Almanacs. Hell of a project, though. /nt
