He Should Have Seen It Coming
More of the weird from Australian Broadcasting: Psychic fails to predict crystal ball fire.
Herve Vandrot, 24, who studies botany at Edinburgh University, left his trusty crystal ball on a windowsill while he sauntered off to the city’s Royal Botanical Garden.
He returned surprised to find his top floor flat ablaze and suffered blistering to a hand after dashing in to rescue some course work.
Herve was studying psychic phenomena and claimed the fire must have been the fault of an overheated power cord for his computer, but firemen said it was sunlight focused by the crystal ball on some laundry.
He must have been a grad student, an undergrad would never have tried to save their course work when they had a great excuse like a fire.
