Did PZFeed Ebooks (https://twitter.com/PZbooks) predicted Paris attacks and huge human loss and injuries 2 days before the actually attacks took place?
This is the question many people over Internet are having this time due to following tweet of PZFeed. We are providing screenshot and the actual tweet as well. Some people will see date 11th November with tweet and some 12th November due to the timezone difference. Either way both dates are earlier than actual attack date which is 13th November.

No, this is not a prediction. I will try to explain that what actually has happened here.
PZFeed Ebooks is actually a tweet bot (Twitterbot), that means no human tweets from this account but a bot. A bot is pieace of computer code (programming) which crawls through websites and picks the information we feed in code. In this case the PZFeed Ebooks bot is written to crawl through PZF NEWS twitter account (https://twitter.com/pzf) and post tweets from there.
The bot may be is poorly programmed or any other problem happened and the bot mixed up two tweets of PZF NEWS twitter account (https://twitter.com/pzf). One tweet is about Charlie Hebdo shooting where 12 people were killed (7 January 2015) and other NEWS is about Nigerian mosque attack where 120 people were killed and 270 were injured (28 November 2014).
Following are screenshots and actual tweets of above two mentioned tweets from PZF NEWS twitter account (https://twitter.com/pzf)

So it was a poorly programmed bot which created the confusion of predicting Paris attacks two days before they actually took place. I tried my level best to explain. Hope it helped to clear the confusion from your mind.
