00:27 So this week, Pablo went back and edited a post of his from December of 2015 to include

00:31 a prediction that's eerily accurate.

00:34 He writes, "Call me crazy, but in 2016 Hillary Clinton will be the first female president.

00:39 The world will go cray cray over the death of a gorilla.

00:42 Prince will die.

00:43 Muhammad Ali will die.

00:44 Kimbo Slice will die.

00:45 Donald Trump will die.

00:46 Wait.

00:47 The USA will experience the worst mass shooting.

00:49 I'm not trying to scare anyone, but you'll remember my name."

00:52 Well, everything about that post is true.

00:54 Except, well, Hillary hasn't won.

00:56 The presidential race and Donald Trump is alive and well.

00:59 It's his birthday today.

01:04 went massively viral, with some people believing it and some being in on the joke.

01:09 What have people been writing?

01:10 Luis Vasquez writes, "WTFK bro."

01:13 What is K?

01:14 I don't know.

01:15 WTFK bro.

01:16 Claudio Caciotapia writes, "Illuminati confirmed."

01:21 Mind you guys, Pablo used to write for a fake news satire site.

01:24 He's a little bummed that people believe everything they see on Facebook.

01:27 Little PSA.

01:28 Don't believe everything you see or write, because anybody can write it.

01:31 Or put something online.

01:32 We're putting this online.

01:33 It's all fake.
