12. Accurate death prediction
I was staying at a hotel with friends in northern Ontario for a chess tournament. Geeky I know. Can’t exactly remember the town. Anyway, we were looking for some thrills at night and someone busted out a board. One of those official ones you can get from Toys’r’us. We asked a few questions I can’t remember but I will never forget when we asked if it knew if any of us was going to die. Yeah I know strange question to ask. Uh so it spelled out a person’s name that was with us at the time. And then a date which was approximately a year later. My friend died a year later from cancer in his knee. He knew about it six months before he died. To this day I am still curious about the device but damned if I’ll ever touch it again.
