From the same mindset that brought you the non-existent Rapture of May 21, 2011! Now with political predictions!

Some background on this.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bible_code

And no matter how many times their "predictions" fail to materialize, they keep at it.

If you sift through enough noise, you'll find a signal if you're looking for one.

Searching for secret codes (or any signs of the supernatural for that matter) stimulates the same part of the brain that responds to gambling. Some people just can't stop dropping those coins in.

Seems like the onus should be on this person to show how the Bible has predicted past presidents as well.

Jeez, the idea that a book SUPPOSEDLY dictated by God a few thousand years ago would predict the winner of a specific presidental election in a country on a continent then unknown makes so much sense. Oh wait, no, that's right, it's the most arrogant and disrespectful assertion a person could make about their religion.

I'm seeing a potential Romney Cabinet member. Secretary of State Perhaps?

This is precisely the style of prophecy that Mitt Romney believes in via his foundational philosophy Mormonism.

Damn it! Would a "spoiler alert" be too much to ask for??

Forget the Old Testament; A Romney presidency is predicted in the Book of Revelation.

Something about a million monkeys with a million typewriters for a million years producing all of Shakespeare, I'm afraid.

Couldn't say it better myself, @8.

This when the Bible becomes a Roscharch test.

Wait till you see my soon-to-be published book, The Bubble Codes! Careful analysis of my farts in a swimming pool showed that they predict that Jesus will return to Earth on the re-entering Hubble space telescope in 2017!!!!

Or maybe it was Xenu on an old Russian spy satellite. The Morse code timing for that part was a little ambiguous. I can definitely rule out Quetzacoatl wrapped around a tube of chocolate pudding ejected from Skylab.

If you look at the text in a mirror, it says Morbo will be our new overlord.

I hope Shak the engineer doesn't use the same method to calculate load capacities for bridges.

Well, we'll all see if he's correct on November 6th. I doubt it but who knows.
