Bizarre!

Being a geek, I like reading little trivia books, like The Book of the Bizarre.

I recently found this scintillating nugget under "Prescient Literature"...

Author Morgan Robertson wrote his story of a gigantic luxury ship, the Titan, in 1898. In this fictional tale, the ship, advertised as unsinkable, hits an iceberg and tragically goes down, killing many passengers and crew. In 1912, of course, the Titanic tragically went down.

But there's more!

In 1914, Robertson wrote another novel about a future war involving fantastical weaponry called sunbombs which were capable of decimating an entire city. In the book, the war starts in December and is brought on by the Japanese, who carry out a sneak attack on Hawaii.
