Like a Pray-er

An Indian astrologer incorrectly predicted his own death, surviving his anticipated demise yesterday in the company of hundreds of well-wishers (if by well-wishers you mean people hoping to see a man kick the bucket on cue). Hard to say if the astrologer considered this good news or not. But what undoubetdly is good news is the following:

A police official confirmed the astrologer was fine and quoted his family members as saying the prediction failed because many of those gathered had prayed for him to live.

I, for one, am relieved to know that if only people prayed harder, bad things wouldn't happen anymore! No more hurricanes, no more earthquakes, no more zombies! I'm so happy!
