It's been a while since I've done this, but,
When I'm walking down the street, I can look at a person and know that they're going to take an immediate spill right in front of me. And sure enough, not ten seconds later, they do. Sometimes I'll even count down, 5..4..3..2..1..::stumble:: and they'll trip over an upturned brick or their own stupid feet.

Also works with bikers, skateboarders, and people walking into poles. People dropping shit, people spilling stuff, people cutting themselves with knives while cooking.

My success rate is something around 80%. I almost never have enough time to warn them. Even when I call out "hey", they'll turn their heads but keep walking right into that open sewer.

I'm not into this kind of stuff usually. In fact, I laugh at people who are into this stuff. I can think of lots of explanations for the fall predicting. Could just be my ability to spot careless people. Or to see small problems in the environment. But I always, always get the timing right.

On September 10th, 2001 I had a dream that our civil liberties were going to be eroded. Okay, that one was a joke..a depressing joke. A couple days before the 11th, one of my people *was* on about how insecure our airports are. However he is a very paranoid person so I don't think that really counts.
