I saw that one coming.
They didn’t.
But maybe the class wasn’t even scheduled yet.
It was scheduled, but no one signed up because they knew it would be canceled.
Then I guess they didn’t need the class anyway.
It’s a prerequisite for prognostication 201.
Portentailly another bad choice of class
I seer’n F in the future.
Their misfortune is telling.
It augurments the downward spiral of failure.
And women get the blame no doubt!
you ate the apple
Didn’t Adam (according to the story) help eat the apple too?
Maybe that’s why it was cancelled.
I predict a riot
Psychic Riot. I will see you on the Astral Plane!
Isn’t foretelling evil? Y’all are witches. Get ‘em! *grabs her torch and a marshmellow*
I am not a Witch, I am a Cunning person, now put the torch down.
Only one way to know for sure… I will need my larger scales!
Step away from the duck..
Fine then, there is another way to determine if you are in fact made of wood, and thus, a witch…
*unleashes the termites*
*tries carefully to hang up thousands of tiny leashes, makes a tangled mess anyway*
Throws match sticks to termites and says “fetch” so the termites can’t go near K@TCF.
*Sigh
When will you learn, if you are capable of magic…
It is easy to escape!
*turns into a swarm of bees*
However it will get harder if your opponent also has magic.
*poofs a giant can of bee killer onto the field*
Dont make me use it.
Hey Ceasar Salad and Super Size Fries K@tcf is the niceest people on here don’t harm her get Guan-Di.
*pop*
*swarm of bees dissappears*
Noboby gets me!
*sulks like a angst-ridden teen*
*gets Guan-Di*
You’re it!
*flees*
How dare you!
I needed those termites to tear down the forests! How else am I supposed to catch those elusive Giant spiders?
*Notices bite marks all over his arm*
Oh what the f-
But we always get better
“I’m not a witch I’m your wife…and I’m not sure I want to be that anymore!!”
He said “to bluff!”
Psychic Riot would be a great band name!!!
Doesn’t bode well for the Kaiser.
It never is chief!
Can’t he roll with it?
That sounds like a self-fulfilling prophecy.
They didn’t see the irony either.
They’re really bad at it.

theres actually only twelve comments…this one added twenty five
wow almost took up every space.
ironic no?
thats fully me
i find this amusing.
Actually, it’s hard to read the left side of the sign. Maybe it says “some foreseen circumstances”.
One foreseen circumstance?
One foreskin circumcised?
One Forest circumnavigated
One for the road -> cirrhosis?
One forethought circumspected
2 girls 1 cucumber

I saw that coming.
I knew that, I saw that coming.
They didn’t.
Good morning MRN,blackgarnets,K@tcf,SeaBee,RetroPRO,Bob. and anyone else I missed.
You missed my name, but good morning to you anyways.
Good morning Ceasar salad and super fries. I was writing the good morning and your name came up after sorry.
Thats ok. *sqeeze*

You should get an avatar Ceasar Salad and Super Size Fries. You are a cool cat.
Good morning to you, and all the FailPeeps!
Talk about getting caught with your pants down. And yet it is like the previous fail.
If the prophecy class is cancelled, how do we learn how to prophet?
Or is that the mystery step?
*is confuzzled*
One must get in the “zone” to prophet the future.
But they won’t let me park in the Zone! That officer keeps threatening to tow me!
safety first, THEN prophet!
Prophet is second? I thought safety was third. You’re making the confusion worse.
*head assplodes*
1. safety
2. take one small prophet
3. safety
4. ???
5. PROPHET!
So what the heck am I supposed to do with all the underpants?
I think I’ll pay a visit to the competing firm in Delphi, then…
I don’t think anybody understood your post. But I DO!!
Fallout 3, anyone?
Sure, then when everyone turns into a Zombie then we can play Left4dead.

First thing i thought when i saw this was: Half-Life
*mumbles*
Daughter Parent ratio
Carbon-14
Caesium-137
*faints*
We think alike. In avatars too D:
Prophecy isn’t necessarily predicting the future. Actually, a lot of times it’s not.
I knew you were going to say that
Thank you. Of course it isn’t.
That’s the first thing you learn in this class.
Or at least, it would be, if it wasn’t cancelled.
canceled due to unforeseen circumcisions
Unforeskinned circumcisions?
You guys know it’s a joke, right? Just Google the phrase.
We knew you would come, it was written in the stars.
I saw that one coming.
And of course, this is actually a WIN!
You look like a girl from my school. o.o
The sign is funny because a “class on prophecy” might appear to be teaching others how to prophecy and therefore, wouldn’t a teacher teaching others to prophecy be able to see events in the future that might interfere with the class?
To someone who is religious, it’s not exactly hilarious at first glance because we understand what the sign means. A Lutheran church giving a class on prophecy most likely is presenting a study on prophecies in the Bible already given, whose events have already come to pass (i.e. the Messianic prophesies of the Old Testament vs. New Testament application and fulfillment). A Lutheran church most likely would not be holding a class teaching people how to prophecy. I believe this particular denomination believes that prophecy is no longer a gift given to Christians (I could be wrong, I’m not Lutheran) in modern times.
No, forseeing is not evil; Christians should not believe it is anyway, not ones who understand what forseeing is and the Biblical view of it. The Bible ONLY condemns foresight when the information is not coming from God or his messengers. Those who naturally forsee or get their information from God rather than using charms and spells to tap into unknown entities who may or may not be evil (relying on anyone other than God for help) is what is frowned upon. I’d hesitate to call anything “evil” though.
Then again, I’m a Christian Universalist. I’m sure plenty of Christians think I’m evil too lol.
Funnyboi went extreme.

Hmmm, too much smartness for this site
tl;dr
*checks to see if there is any funny left*
Nope. All the funny sucked right out of it. I knew someone would have to explain the fail. *shakes head sadly*
Nice to see you Anniebunny. The future is yours.
*bunny squeezes all around* Nice to see you too. I’m predicting my future is filled with having to fill in for co-workers whose cell phones only work to send calls, not receive them. *shakes phone* Can you hear me now?
SHOW ME THE FUNNY!
*flashes*
I dare you not laugh!
This is no laughing matter.
*reviews camera footage repeatedly to be sure of what just happened*
You never said anything about a spycam. :/
Blame Arthur
He’ll be pleased to know he’s no longer redundant.
*shakes fist at Arthur*
Grrr…
*flashes back*
Like my nuts?
Nope! They’re just Bobbing about like saggy conkers.
You would be correct in your reasoning. This class would most likely have been about Old Testament prophecies and how they were fulfilled in Christ. The church looks like it’s LCMS (Lutheran Church Missouri Synod) which is much more “conservative” in teachings compared to other Lutheran Church’s throughout the world. Most LCMS churches actually bind their pastors to teaching straight from the bible and the Lutheran confessions. More churches should do the same…
Amanda I think you’ve got it quite head on on your comment. I’m a Christian and I don’t believe foreseeing is evil. I believe that many people who try tapping into a prophecy of some sort through witchery is evil. Any other way than God is evil. If the word is spoken from God himself, it is not evil. It’s the truth. The gift of prophecy is still being given, also.
To the prophecy class, I feel that it is good to learn what it is about. I really don’t believe anyone can teach you how to prophecy solely because God speaks to us in different ways. There is no one way. So maybe the class teaches the biblical prophecies and the stories given in the book. And the sign? I don’t know what that’s about. Maybe it was just a fancy way of saying, “Sorry, we had to cancel. Stay tuned for rescheduling.” Haha.
I’m Lutheran (LCMS) and we believe prophecy is the gift of interpreting God’s will. A gift that is still relevant and used today. Sometimes it does involve future events, however, most Lutherans tend to shy away from the charasmatic. although they will admit that God’s Spirit will do what it pleases, it should just be tested against the rest of the Bible to make sure it is coming from God
This is one of those situations that never should have made it onto failblog. This is NOT a fail, folks. The people who made this sign are making a joke – the same joke you all are making. In other words, it’s THEIR joke! It’s not a fail, it’s a joke.
If anything, it’s you all that cannot detect irony.
Depends which molecule we are discussing, the soluble FeII or insoluble FeIII variety, Discuss.
I’m disgusted by the lack of iron in my diet.
Here, have this gate, I made it myself- but I am a bit rusty with a hammer.
What you are hammered on the failblog K@tcf?
And? We seem to have detected the irony quite easily, and played off of it in several directions. Too bad the ability to read does not always come with a sense of humor.
True…I’m a Christian and I thought it was hilarious!!
*snorkles*
I love it how many people see a picture and immediately know all about it. Must be some sort of prophecy thing going on.
Some of these here people have been getting themselves an edumacations, so it is.
Intention detecting 101.
I think they had a melange shortage so the guild couldn’t get the Kwisatz Haderach here.
For our next assignment, the class should compare and contrast irony and failure.
Irony makes things flat, whilst failure is often a cumpled pile softly moaning ‘ouch’.
*quickly throws a ‘r’ into Moomin’s post*
There…you’re all better…
*goodmorningsqueezes*
I used most of them up on speak like a pirate day so am budgeting
*tankoosqueeze*
No problem, matey!
“Irony makes things flart”? I don’t understand.
Oh DEAR!!!!! What have I been doing?
*cries*
I feel so stupid!!! How could I have fallen for this? Why has God forsaken me?
etc etc etc
He forsook you for that time with the tadpoles, the syringe and the chewing gum.
Pretty much everyone forsook you when we saw the tadpoles were crying.
I just thought they were really big sperm WAH!!!!
That doesn’t explain why you were trying to put them back in.
Must…resist…asking…
(Scarily enough, I chose the three items at random but now have a workable scenario in my head)

Pssst…
you dick moomin
wtf?!1?
No really, why the hell are there so many moomins?
Wtf? I tried three diffirennt nicknames, so of course there were tho moomins
What were these unforseen circumstances?

lol

No one could break the Schrödinger’s cat paradox….yet -.-’.
ENGRISH FTW
That’s not a failure. Maybe somewhat ironic, but not a fail. A class on the subject of prophecy in the Bible is NOT a class on HOW TO prophecy.
If you would just step over here, I would like to show you the twelve OTHER people who posted essentially the same comment you just posted.
They must have learned how to prophecy.
actually i have read most of the comments (save the stupid ones that are just people being dumbasses and rhyming with the previous persons post) and this is the 1st person that posted this comment
“Other people already posted that” is just something people like to say on here. It doesn’t really matter whether it’s true or not.
Amanda: “A Lutheran church giving a class on prophecy most likely is presenting a study on prophecies in the Bible already given, whose events have already come to pass…”
RBMJR: “This is NOT a fail, folks.”
Pacifida:”Prophecy isn’t necessarily predicting the future. Actually, a lot of times it’s not.”
Just sayin’.
The real fail is the misplaced handicapped sign on the left.
wtf? your name is fat guy ina box? you dick
These comments make me believe lots of us have missed the point. This is a COGNATIVE DISSONANCE FAIL. Clearly the church is making fun of people who believe in prophecy. But how can one group who practice magical thinking make fun of another group just because they believe in different magic? You’d think they would be able to see the relationship and be more circumspect.
God is an iron = one who does irony!
testing 1 2 3
Woo hoo! It works!
*squeeze*
*gives 5 eagles a frog for his collection*
wtf? why the f**k is your name that? I thought of it first!
testing 3 2 1
Well, duh, maybe the church is just a non-prophet!
ROFL!
I don’t see how this is a fail. This looks like a typical “jokey” sign of about 3rd grade humor level that many churches & other places with such signboards will put up to catch passersbys’ attention. The humor here strikes me as intentional.
heal the rolli!
Geeze guys, the church probably used the irony to have a little fun. The failure is the people who don’t get it and thought the church made a mistake when it was intentional.
Can anyone say “Half life reference”?
^^ Mhm..up there..also Fallout 3, and Left4Dead…oh and Dune. There was something about tadpoles, a syringe, chewing gum and GCF…there should be a good story in that right there.
I think this should be named Prophecy Win
Aw crap! I went to that church!
So my guess is that that was totally on purpose. I belong to the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod, and let me assure you, we’re cynical, beer-guzzling German folk who find ‘End Times’ hysteria absolutely hilarious.
I’m Missouri Synod too. So, uh, when people say they’re beer-guzzling is that supposed to make non-religious people feel more comfortable around you? More acceptable? What if I say, “let me assure you, we’re cynical, crack-smoking, rated x movie watching folk who find End Time hysteria absolutely freekin’ hilarious!!” Plus, the fact that many Christian people point out the fact they like beer is getting really old. I like beer. I liked beer when I wasn’t a Christian. I still like beer. I can drink a TRUCK load of beer. I like vodka too. People who point out the fact they are beer-guzzling probably actually get absolutely PLASTERED after about three beers. So, be a man. Man I love the internet.
I don’t get it
Actually, since it’s LCMS, it could well be intentional humor. We confessional Lutherans tend to be skeptical about modern “prophets.”
Rise and shine, Mr. Freeman.
Rise and shine.
they obviously wrote it like that on purpose to be funny. why is this even on fail blog
This is NOT a fail. This sign was very obviously meant as a joke. Lutherans usually do not interpret the Bible literally, and do not believe in all that apocalyptic prophecy garbage.
Yes, we Lutherans DO interpret the Bible literally. And YES, if the book of Revelation is apocalyptic, then WE Lutherans DO believe in some sort of apocalypse. Thanks for speaking for me, though, Josh. I appreciate your cowardliness and inability to be a real Christian.
On the other hand, yes, this sign was meant to be a joke. Lutherans are too smart to not intentionally do something like that.
Am I an idiot? Cause I don’t get it…
prophecy indeed.
yeap… prophecy class? interesting. each of us can become a prophet after visiting such a class. lol!
I went to a church in America once – the vicar talked about collecting money – what bad taste! More about profits than prophets.
as Joseph said to Mary, “business is really bad, somehow we need to make a little prophet.”
I wish i could find this paper to scan in and send to FB. it was in the horoscope section and one of the enties went like this.
“you are being held back by your uncertainties, there is no point worrying about ‘ifs’ and ‘maybes’. there is no way of telling how things are going to work out, no way of telling the future , so go for your dreams.”
no way of telling the future??? is this an astrologer telling us the truth about horoscopes at last?
didn’t see that coming
Oh hey!
Does this work?
Hey! I just had a “jamais vu”!
Apocalyptic Fail!
Note the little sign for disabled access just near the circumstances…
Does that mean it says that the class is cancelled due to invalid circumstances?
That the 10th to most fail sign i’ve seen today
Your comment be make not no sense more.
Why would they choose that wording? Haha
It will be fun to hear about all the excuses for the 2012 end of days prophecies failing. What will be the new date?
Prepare for unforeseen consequences…
That was pretty funny!!
:ala Little Kuriboh’s Joey Wheeler: IRONY!!
HAHA THIS IS THE CHURCH UP MY BLOCK
handycaps sez “com to teh dark side”. “u fail” sez i.
This is not a fail at all, it’s supposed to be witty.
They aren’t teaching how to prophecy you idiots. There teaching about past prophecies that have been fulfilled in Jesus.
I agree with Andy.
And prophecy does not mean ‘psychic’. A prophesy might be about one particular event, it doesn’t mean you know everything that’s going to happen in the future.
This isn’t real, it was created on a website
please please submit to signspotting.com
woahhh i totally just saw that sign in clark new jersey yesterday. i thought i misread it at first, hhahaha
this was a joke i go to this church and we do not have a prophecy class
This was a joke. The sign was a joke. Churches put them up on their signs all the time. I’ve seen this one before on a church in my hometown. Whoever thought this was a fail was retarded.
