The scene is a food court. The time is 1999, back in the day when I was still doing academic competition. An otherwise ordinary looking woman approaches my teammate who I shall call Alex.
Woman: I know you. I know your destiny.
Alex: (confused stare)
Woman: You don't know it yet, but I realized who you are. You're the Messiah.
Alex: Okaaay...
Woman: I can see it. There's an aura around you.
Alex: (doing an admirable job of hiding the fact that he wants to burst out laughing)
Woman: (looking at the rest of us) You're all special. (Walks away)
I know plenty of nuts, but that was one person who immediately jumped into my mind when I read this topic.
