Astrologer fails to predict his own death

There was an interesting piece in Reuters' Oddly Enough space about an astrologer in an Indian village that predicted he would die at some point between 3 and 5 in the afternoon today. Well, he was incorrect and he survived the day. Isn't this just the consummate "damned if you do, damned if you don't" scenario? But of course, the guy put himself in the position.

The article goes on to say that in the past when an astrologer was incorrect about this particular prediction, the villagers ended up beating the man to death.
