Each year, psychics around the world make predictions for the coming year, and each year, the Skeptic community checks to see their track record.

Our friends over at Skeptic North have done a wonderful job of outlining the failed predictions from "top" psychic Sylvia Brown and John Hogue. The track record speaks for itself.

John Hogue's 2009 Predictions
Sylvia Brown's 2009 Predictions

Over at the CSICOP, you can check out the track record as far back as the 90's.

It's interesting to see which predictions were a miss, but it should also be noted what wasn't predicted for 2009. Wouldn't the world's leading psychics want to predict these juicy news items?

• H1N1/Swine Flu outbreak
• The Tiger Woods scandal
  Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize
• Deadly bushfires in Australia
• The outstanding success of Twitter
  Deaths: Micheal Jackson, Natasha Richardson, Walter Cronkite, Patrick Swayze, Brittany Murphy, Farrah Fawcett, and others.
• The sudden fame of Susan Boyle
