Astrology really works, doesn't it?

'Even Nostradamus got things wrong', says astrologer who advised Sri Lanka's president to call election "As a defeated Mahinda Rajapaksa slunk out of Sri Lanka’s presidential palace, the astrologer who counselled him to call a disastrous early election was gloomily packing his bags on the other side of town. “Not all of Nostradamus’ predictions have come true either,” said Sumanadasa Abeygunawardena as he reflected both on the fate of his vanquished boss and his own reputation as a seer. “There was only so much I could do to help him win, maybe 5%. But you must have luck to be the president.” The 63-year-old Abeygunawardena has been avoiding the media since last Thursday’s election, his reputation having taken a pounding from veteran leader Rajapaksa’s defeat to his rival Maithripala Sirisena.

1. It sure does! Except when it doesn't.

But what's so cool is that when it doesn't, then there was obviously a reason! Therefore astrology is still true!

Or maybe GMOs.
