The Simpsons has cracked out its crystal ball once again, predicting another huge event way ahead of its time.
After Team USA's huge (and surprising) curling win at the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang on Saturday (February 24), Simpsons fans started remembering an episode from eight years ago that featured Homer and Marge leading the USA curling team to an Olympic gold medal.
Not only that, but because the writers at The Simpsons are clearly flat-out psychic, the episode even predicted who the USA would beat out for the trophy: Sweden.
"Congratulations to US men's gold medal curling team! Good predictions can come true too," The Simpsons' showrunner Al Jean posted on Twitter yesterday.
He then followed that up with another screengrab from the episode featuring the Olympic medal ceremony as-told-by-The Simpsons, captioning it: "Medal ceremony filmed by us in 2010."
"Congrats to @USACurling2018 on their gold!" Simpsons writer Rob LaZebnik added.

"Not the first time the US beat Sweden, though. Marge and Homer did it eight years ago."
Of course it's not the first time that the animated sitcom has been spookily accurate with their predictions for the future.
Over the years, The Simpsons has called everything from Lady Gaga's Super Bowl half time performance to Fox being bought by Disney, with alarmingly high levels of accuracy.

Writer Dan Greaney said of that particular prediction: "That just seemed like the logical last stop before hitting bottom. It was pitched because it was consistent with the vision of America going insane."
At least this time the show's psychic powers predicted good things for the American people.
