Someone posted this on my Sports Night list as well, and I'm 
wondering first, is it a real prophecy?  It sounds too much like a 
joke.  (And if it is, I'm sounding pretty gullible right now...)   
And, second, any doubt as to the translation?  Is it pretty generally 
agreed that this is what he was really trying to say?  Don't guess he 
might have predicted whether or not we'll survive...
