Dublin paper publishes eerily accurate horoscopes

Behold the future.

You know when you read your horoscope with your morning coffee every day (to know what the future will be like), sometimes it can be a bit repetitive repetitive repetitive?

Well, today's edition of the Metro Herald takes it to a whole new level.

In case you can't read that, it's filler text entered by a sub-editor, and no-one came along later to replace it with the 'real' horoscopes.

"This is a swathe of dummy text," it says, describing horoscopes perfectly, "that can be used to indicate how many words fit a particular space."

"The text contains [25 words] a couple of different paragraphs so, visually, it doesn't look too repetitive repetitive repetitive."

Anyone who's ever done print design knows this pain – almost as bad as a string of Lorem Ipsum or the dreaded headline: "jhfdhsajk".

But sure, with a daily circulation of 62,352, who's going to notice?
