I don't know about this predicting the future, but recording emotional, er, 'unleashment' on the part of thousands of people, sure, I'll buy that, and tip for service too. As far the spikes in the distribution being recorded before the events occurred, I'd like to venture the idea that the people triggereing the machines are the precognitive ones, not the machines themselves. If something catastrophic is going to happen, all the people who would react to it at the time are subconsciously going "hmmm, somethings not right" and stress out without knowing it ("gut feeling"), which could trigger the eggs some time before the event itself. It would make sense for the event to cause a larger spike in the egg-chart than the 'predictive' spike, but I havnt been to the site yet so that may be the case.
Incidentally, who the hell is Bob Morris?
