If you are an expert in world jugglery you can even make Astrology seem true.
The trick is to use that fact that English words aren't clearly defined. That way in the future you can clarify what you meant :)
For example, Kurzweil said we would have a 20 petaflops super computer by 2009. Right now the fastest super computer is Tianhe-1 and it is capable of 2.5 petaflops. And to that Kurzweil responded that he considers Google to be a giant supercomputer, thanks for telling us after the fact what you meant by super-computer =/
