It's a rare medium whose predictions are well done.

Ancient Aliens Debunked is a 3 hour refutation of the theories proposed on the History Channel series Ancient Aliens. It is essentially a point by point critique of the “ancient astronaut theory” which has been proposed by people like Erich von Däniken and Zecharia Sitchin as well as many others. All the claims are sourced at the website. It was produced by Chris White and includes commentary from Dr. Michael Hesier.
They've done an excellent job on this! Well worth watching, I also like how their website has different segments of the refutation available to watch seperatley. The part on the Nepherin (angel) myths particulary interesting and the clarification that the angel word should be translated as "giants"..hummm another example of the Homo family tree? after all there were lots of variations.

Through much of history, religious faith was a strong component of medical practice. Diseases were often thought to result from blockages in the body’s ï¬ow of vital forces, or from possession by malevolent spirits. Eventually, scientiï¬c medicine far surpassed efforts of faith healers, so the latter was made to yield authority to the former. (...)
Well they should be encouraging 2-year registrations anyway. It doesn't need to be "use it or lose it," in fact I don't know if that's the case anywhere. I've only had 4 vehicles in my lifetime and I can't remember if I was credited for unused months on the tags. It's been over 20 years since I sold or traded in a car. They just stay in the family somehow... But the convenience to me of registering in 2-year chunks might be something I'd do, at least on the car that's cheap to register. And wouldn't that save the state a little just in paperwork?
They do 2 year registrations if you want here in The Old Dominion. You have to pass an emissions test every other year.

Hereabouts we can get a lifetime registration for seasonal vehicles—boats, snowmobiles, or motorcycles. Makes sense for everybody.
A voluntary superstition tax. What's not to like? Like a lottery, but without all the false hope.

I think it's awesome. It shows some marketing skills not normally associated with a DMV, and at no real cost to them. If they get people to pay two years' worth, well that's fewer mailings they need to do, they have the money up front, and some people will sell their cars before the time's up and there's probably some unused registration that goes to the state from that. Whoever thought of it should get a bonus.

My guess is that it was instituted by the DMV because of the overwhelming # of requests to not have a certain number.

This seems to be the closest available topic for superstition.
Went to renew my car registration online today (I know, all you libertarians out there will curse my cowardice for not refusing to be regulated and knuckling under to the state's totalitarian demands), and they actually offered me the chance to "avoid 13" In other words, if I'm superstitious about having the number 13 appear on my license plate, I can choose to renew for an extra year! Ya gotta love state-sanctioned acknowledgement of superstitious beliefs.
