The Simpsons somehow predicted the outcome of the men's curling final at the Winter Olympics
Donald Trump becoming president, the horse meat scandal, Ebola – just three of many global happenings predicted years before they came to be by writers of The Simpsons.
How a cult cartoon is so often found to be prophetic is impressive, if a little baffling. There are so many examples of the show somehow displaying eerie crystal ball qualities.

Why Germany Could Win the Hockey Gold Medal
Germany will compete for a gold medal in today's men's Olympic ice hockey finale.
"From the NHL perspective I understand it, they have assets they want to protect and if you send them off to an event that isn't earning money, it doesn't make much sense to them."
It's ice hockey's equivalent of Zimbabwe winning a Cricket World Cup, or Uruguay taking out the Rugby World Cup crown.
While the German performances in Pyeongchang shouldn't be discredited, there's a reason that nations like Canada, Sweden and the USA won't be there today competing for gold against the Olympic Athletes of Russia.
That's because for the first time since 1994, no athletes from the world-leading National Hockey League have been permitted to play at the games.
There are a number of reasons for this, but it would be of little surprise that money and commercial considerations are primary factors.
But this rose is an extra. - A. Conan Doyle
