PS What if the two weeks and three days pass and nothing happens? What
then?


Then he'll forget all about the current "prediction" and make a new one that
will also fail to happen.

Prophets solved that problem millennia ago:

o Change the subject.

o Revise the estimate of the date.

o Claim that it _did_ happen, on a higher plane.

Going by past form, Min will claim that it's the correct date, but judged by
a different calendar (possibly one of his own devising, based on his own
unique astrology).

The fourth is to claim that he averted the disaster with his psychic emanations
but if we are not all good boys and girls it could happen again.

Not to forget the technique of counting anything at *all* that happens on
the date as a "hit". So, if any kind of vaguely terrorist related incident,
successful or otherwise, occurs (which is reasonably likely), then Min will
count that as a success.
