    When I was riding a city bus home from high school, an old lady was ranting about her religious beliefs. The end of the world, the devil, Armageddon, stuff like that. Then she looked at me and pointed at me and said, "And one day they'll put micro-chips in everyone's hands and you'll remember an old lady on the bus told you so!". There's really no reason for me to keep remembering her prediction, but every so often I remember her and do a mental check on the accuracy of her prediction.

      Chips in people's hands and foreheads is actually a pretty common prediction for religious weirdos. It comes from a passage from the Book of Revelation about needing the mark of the beast on your palm and forehead in order to do trade.

        on a bus ride i once had an old lady inspect my hand for the mark of the beast. i can't remember half of the stuff she was talking about, but i remember the closing of post offices was somehow tied to the apocalypse

        yeah but hands and foreheads are the least intelligent place to put them, youd probably put them in the thigh area
