The pseudoscience of bibliomancy, the kind that Herc claims to be able 
to do, is to pick "randomly" pick a phrase from any book and it would 
"answer" any question posed.

The posed question that Herc had was "When will I win Randi's bet?"
The "answer" was "whenever you respond".

You can take nearly any phrase and twist it to suit the answer.  That's 
not anything special.
