The Year of The Snake Approaches

China's new leader Xi Jinping the new General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party was in disguise and was walking the streets of Shanghai.

The reason for Xi Jinping's clandestine visit to Shanghai was to visit the shop of a noted Chinese astrologer in the city.

The astrologer was well known for the accuracy of his predictions.

And it was said that this astrologer had predicted several years ago that a great and important world leader would emerge out of nowhere on the world stage in the next Year of the Snake (which was this year 2013 starting with the new lunar new year in February).

So Xi had come to see this astrologer named Sun Chen to find out who this person was.

Xi entered the shop, paid Sun his fee and then asked the question.

Sun burned some papers in a small fire in a pot on his fireplace stove.

Then he took the pot and showed Xi the image formed from the ashes at the bottom of the pot.

Xi took out his smart phone and photographed the image formed from the ashes.

Then he used some photo ID software to identify whose image it most closely resembled.

He pushed Send and within seconds, a match was found.

The image in the ashes resembled the facial features of one Magog Rhys Petley a British Labour MP for the constituency of Newcastle in Wales.
