Thousands of people are reported to be staying out of Rome for the next few days, over fears the city will be hit by a huge earthquake.


The panic was sparked by rumours that seismologist Raffaele Bendandi, who died in 1979, predicted the city would be devastated by a quake on 11 May.


Officials have insisted quakes cannot be predicted and special programmes have run on state TV calling for calm.

But many people said they were leaving the city to be on the safe side.

There are reports of an 18% increase in the number of city employees planning to stay away from work.

So if I make a whole bunch of predictions of doom and put them in my will, and ensure that it's made public after I die, will I effectively be able to troll people from beyond the grave?


Brb, have to go write an will.
 
Maybe he was a week and a half off the mark? The end of the world could start early, I guess... but Rome getting sacked by nature would probably be good timing for His Noodliness to kickstart the Earth Ends Soon festivities.
 
Of course, he didn't realize how the earthquake in Japan relieved stress on one plate that relieved stress on another plate that relieved stress on yet another plate, and so on and so on and so on, and now the earthquake will be delayed by somewhere between 1 day and 10,000 years.
 
The worst thing about these "predictions" is that when disaster strikes, there is always a psychic somewhere who predicted it. Instant fame due to ignorance of laws of probability. Sadly, this is very common in Latin American countries.
