Apropos predicting earthquakes

I could from now on back up all my claims by the words "And an earthquake will prove my words tomorrow".

I could do that without any fear of failing in my prediction:

On the other hand: That would make me a cynical asshole who wants to exploit the suffering of other people in order to perform pseudo magic.

    My parents were on holiday in Iceland some time ago and visited a geological station. When they asked one of guys working there, when the last earthquake in Iceland had been, he answered: "Oh it's pretty quite lately. We only had 16 today..."
