* "The 6 Greatest Predictions of All Time": The Ides of March, St. Malachy's predictions of future popes, a prediction of the "Titanic"'s sinking, and Jeane Dixon's prediction of the Assassination of John F. Kennedy.
* "The Worst Predictions of All Time"
* The Book of Predictions Contest. The winners receive a housekeeping robot (if available) or personal appointments with famous psychics. Winners were chosen in 1982.
