This made me laugh out loud - link found via ScaryDuck:
York Psychic Museum Closes due to Unforeseen Circumstances. (actually the headline is the best bit)
[It also reminds me of a conversation I had when I left one of my old jobs. One of my colleagues (who was, it has to be said in a very understated way, a bit strange) always claimed at every opportunity* that she was psychic. When I told her I was leaving, she said "I knew it - I'm psychic you know". I mused about how amazing her psychic powers were, and how sure I was (not) that the fact that I'd been moaning about the job from the day I started and always banging on about how I wanted to leave had nothing whatsoever to do with her premonition. Later that day I was telling a (sensible) colleague about the conversation, and without thinking when I got to the bit where she said "I'm psychic you know" I said "I really should have seen that coming". To which, of course, the obvious response was "well no, you're not the psychic one are you?" It's probably lost a lot in translation, but it was hilarious at the time.]
* ie every time the conversation wasn't about Coronation Street. And then they wondered why I wanted to leave.
