87 Bad Predictions about the Future

April 13, 2006

Just saw this in the Evil pundit of doom! blog (link in your right side). Next time you think you’re on top of the situation and you just know everything, consider one of these bad predictions about the future. And not all are from men or women relegated by History to anonymity.

My pick of the crop:

«It will be years – not in my time – before a woman will become Prime Minister.»
Margaret Thatcher, future Prime Minister, October 26th, 1969.

«We will bury you.»
Nikita Krushchev, Soviet Premier, predicting Soviet communism will win over U.S. capitalism, 1958.

«Who the hell wants to hear actors talk?»
H. M. Warner, co-founder of Warner Brothers, 1927.
