In ancient Greece, there was the temple of Mantis in Delphis. A woman named Pythia played the role of Mantis by doing predictions. Politicians, army leaders and rich people were visiting her temple and did donations in order to receive 1-2 sentences from her that will predict what they wanted to know. Pythia were always right, because her words had always double meanings.

If this is true, then Pythia is a genious - because of her ability to manipulate the human language, and humans themselves.
danevans, Nostradamus is probably a genious for the same reasons - not due to ability to predict.
