Still Waters Posted January 8, 2018 #1 Share Posted January 8, 2018 A woman who predicts the future using, um, asparagus, has now revealed her vision for 2018. Jemima Packington, 61, is the world’s only ‘asparamancer’, and claims she can see into the future by tossing asparagus into the air and interpreting how the spears land. Some of Jemima’s predictions last year came true. For example, she said it would rain in the summer, and the UK ended up having the 11th wettest summer on record. And in previous years she’s correctly predicted the credit crunch, the Euro crisis, and Andy Murray winning Wimbledon. http://www.anglenews.com/womans-asparagus-tells-her-theresa-mays-going-to-quit-this-year/ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have predicted with 100% accuracy that...if I eat asparagus, my pee will stink! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stiff Posted January 8, 2018 #5 Share Posted January 8, 2018 "For 2018, her predictions include the stepping down of UK Prime Minister Theresa May, a spate of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions around the world, a string of political scandals and a significant downturn in the economies of several countries." These are hardly predictions. More like expectations. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_KB_ Posted January 8, 2018 #7 Share Posted January 8, 2018 As someone who used to be way in to magic during my early teens I can tell you that this is basically a more hipster version of stick casting or whatever it's called in English (when you just randomly throw down some sticks and try to interpret something) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's because asparagusic acid is metabolized into other sulfur-containing compounds, most specifically this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methanethiol *science teachers can sorta tell the future too* 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
