Go ahead and waste your yearbook space with a Dr. Seuss quote, we'll be over here with this sage predicting a World Series appearance 23 years in the future.

Twitter user Thomas J Dale posted an image of his mother's 1993 yearbook, in which one student used his quote to predict a 2016 World Series win for the Cubs. The Cubs, of course, are in the 2016 World Series (the team's first in seven decades).

If the student, Michael Lee, is right, he'll have made an insanely accurate prediction literally decades in advance.
