Asparamancer' predicts bad year for Brown

Pershore -- A British woman who claims to predict the future by tossing asparagus says the coming year will see Prime Minister Gordon Brown lose his position.

Jemima Packington of Pershore, England, predicted the economy will continue to struggle in 2010, England will burn out of the World Cup in the first or second round, a member of the royal family will become engaged and another will die or be involved in a health scare, The Daily Telegraph reported Tuesday.

Packington describes herself as Britain's first "asparamancer," for her technique of predicting the future by throwing asparagus in the air and analyzing it upon landing.

"Readings vary. Sometimes it will be absolutely instantaneous and other times it takes a little bit of interpretation," she said. "Some leap out at you and others take a little bit longer."

Packington made headlines in 2008 by being the only one of four hired mystics to correctly predict the order of housemate evictions during that year's season of Britain's "Big Brother" reality series.
