Assignment for Introductory Logic:

"Detirmine whether any of these predictions came true. If you are not sure, check the archives of some major news sites on the Internet. Some psychic predictions are so vague they can easily be accurate. For example, 'The Pope will become ill and might die'."

The predictions in the assignment (found in some tabloid):
1.) Soviet cosmonauts will be shocked to discover an abandoned alien space station with the bodies of several extraterrestrials aboard.
2.) The first successful human brain transplant will be performed.
3.) Public water supplies will be treated with chemicals that will prevent AIDS.

Where do I even start to look? o.o
 
Shouldn't you be doing your OWN homework?
 
Brain transplants also carry the nasty issue of, well, ending one mind to continue another, maybe, or maybe not.

That's like, really waking up in someone else's body.
 
Why would people want to give the brain of a smart person to a dumbass, and vice-versa?
 
I'd probably say all are false. AIDS cure/vaccine in the water? Well, AIDS is still around, so I highly doubt it. Brain transplant? Difficult beyond imagining, and hard to imagine a use for. Though if alien space stations have been discovered by the Soviets, who's to say they haven't kept it a secret? [It would be quite a difficult secret to keep. NASA could well have spotted it themselves. If they left it in orbit around Earth, amateur astronomers may have spotted it. If they disassembled it and brought it back... well, that's plausible but difficult and time-consuming. If it's, say, on the dark side of the moon, and, was placed there after the Apollo missions ended, well... the Soviets sure are keeping quiet about their successful moon landing...]
 
Just to be nitpicky, the article blurb mentioned preventing AIDS and not curing it. Big difference.
 
Hmmm, indeed. That should be correlated with a corresponding drop in new AIDS cases... though perhaps 10, 20 years from the start of such a program.
