I Can Predict Disasters!
I am one of those people (well actually I'm not, but just to play devil's advocate...) who always has a very dire prognostication about near term future events.

Generally, of course, I am wrong. But on very rare occasions, I am right. At the time of my predictions, it is pretty much impossible to separate my dead wrong predictions from my spot on predictions. In retrospect, it is of course easy to separate the wheat from the chafe.

Therefore: I Can Predict Disasters!

And: Torture Works!

3. Actually slightly less than 50%
as per the Templeton Foundations unfortunate-for-them study.

"A report published in the American Heart Journal has said that prayers do not seem to have any effect in the well being of patients who recently underwent cardiac bypass surgery. On the contrary, prayers seemed to adversely impact some of the patients who thought that their condition was far worse than thought."
