Soothsayers Wrong

Seems the Soothsayers were wrong about Mount Kelud erupting in "the next seven days." This prediction was made on or about November 7th, meaning the mountain in Indonesia should have erupted by now...

Soothsayers Predict Eruption of Mount Kelud in Next Seven Days

KEDIRI, East Java (JP): With volcanologists apparently unable to determine the exact day Mount Kelud will erupt, villagers in the area have turned to local mystics and soothsayers for their opinions.

While their predictions have been varied, they do all seem to agree on one thing: The mountain will erupt in the next seven days.

Toothdigger's Patron Saint

St. Agapius

Feastday: November 20 & August 19

Martyr and valiant defender of the faith. A Christian in Caesarea, Palestine, Agapius was taken prisoner in the persecutions of Emperor Diocletian. Three times he suffered imprisonment for the faith, released after enduring torture each time. Arrested a fourth, he was offered a pardon if he denied Christ. When he refused, he was penned up with a wild boar. The animal inflicted severe damage on him but did not kill him, so officials drowned him the next day (a stone was tied to his ankle, and he was thrown overboard into the sea.)
