... that the administrator of the Royal Society of New Zealand, Mimie Wood(pictured), correctly predicted that she would be replaced by five people upon retirement? Source: "'When I leave this job, you mark my words, five people will replace me.' And in fact three years after her 1962 retirement the Society had not only a general secretary, but also an executive officer, office assistant, librarian and library assistant." (Royal Society)
