1001 Impossible Prophecies (and Surprise! It is actually possible)

[darth_borehd]

You can only be defeated by a man not of woman born. (Surprise! Born by Caesarean does not count).

[darth_borehd]

Only an army that can march on a teacup without breaking it can defeat your soldiers. (Surprise! Your soldiers are killed by army ants.)

[VRMH]

You will never die. (Surprise! You end up turned to stone for all eternity.)

[Azten]

I'm not sure they count as procephies as much as they do hidden warnings. "What army can defeat mine?" is one question the second prophecy answers cryptically. Very nice though.

[RollingSwordsman]

It's not the fall that will kill you (It's the landing)

[darth_borehd]

Only a bass that does not live in water can be used to open the Outer Gates. (The bass is a singer not, not a fish.)

[GypsyMischief]

That last one only works with text.

[I'm Hiding In Your Closet]

The realm can only be saved by a villain of the noblest heart ("villain/villein" originally meant "peasant/serf" not necessarily an "Evildoer" - a bit of class warfare embedded right into our language! - but that also means, of course, that the inverse is possible as well, and a high-born malefactor could fit the bill as well as a Goodly commoner...or maybe both are necessary?)

[I'm Hiding In Your Closet]

No living thing, be it plant or animal, can ever do thee any harm (this leaves the gates wide open for the other 4 kingdoms of life - fungi, protists, eubacteria, and archaebacteria)

[Bardess]

No living man can kill him
But before you is a WOMAN! XD

[Scud422]

You will die with a smile on your face.
Sounds nice until you get hit with Hideous Laughter while underwater.

[Mudfoot]

You will live until old age takes you.

That'll be the ghost, of course.
