Can Google Predict Things?

According to Google, "We've found that certain search terms are good indicators of flu activity. Google Flu Trends uses aggregated Google search data to estimate flu activity in your state up to two weeks faster than traditional systems."  Check out the link, this is cool!

So I began to wonder what other kinds of things Google could predict.  I wonder if Google could actually predict the coming of the anti-christ.  Huh?, you might say.  Well, if they can predict the flu, then maybe it's possible.  Check out this graph of worldwide information on the search term Obama Antichrist.
