ROSSDORF (ANS) -- Clairvoyants and astrologers have again missed the mark in their predictions for the current year. An analysis conducted by the German Society for Scientific Research into Para-Sciences yielded "catastrophic" results.

According to a press release published December 16 in Rossdorf hardly any prediction came true. There was, for example, no fatal attempt on US-President George W. Bush's life, as the Austrian clairvoyant Rosalinde Haller and her Canadian counterpart Nikki Pezaro had predicted.

She also envisioned a giant rabbit to surface in county Surrey, England. The Australian medium Blossom Goodchild had foreseen that aliens would visit the earth, October 14.

Wishful thinking led several German astrologers to predict that the national soccer team would win the European Cup. In fact the side lost to Spain in the final.

Clairvoyants also foresaw a number of natural disasters. These "classics" are based on common knowledge says mathematician Martin Kunkel, who regularly analyzes astrological predictions.

Floods are regular incidents in parts of Asia during monsoon times, as are earth tremors in Japan or fires in California. Predictions of such disasters make as much sense as a forecast of threatening darkness in the late hours of the day, says Kunkel.
