Here One Moment
A woman on a delayed flight tells every passenger how and when they will die, and then it starts happening.
On a delayed flight from Hobart to Sydney, a quiet older woman stands up and tells each passenger in turn their cause of death and the age they will reach. Nothing happens for months. Then the first prediction comes true. Moriarty follows several passengers as the knowledge works on them, and the woman herself, who is a retired statistician and has her own account of what she was doing.

Comedy is a great way of being irreverent towards the powers that be, and Fate is the ultimate power, in a way. Another reason why I value comedy so much is that it strikes me that comedians are just philosophers with a good sense of humour, and philosophers are just comedians without one.
