It's a Ziggy comic. (see the fine print), you're old enough to remember Ziggy! He was the original hard luck character.

FML is an internet thing - "F* My Life" - which is preceded or followed by a personal story of hard luck.
"I ordered a box of cigars to be dropped off at my door. They arrived, in a cardboard box, during a torrential rain. Now I have $200 cigar soup. FML"(Wow, that joke fell flat...)

Perhaps, but I wouldn't count on it. I think the data is that the psychics predictions are just about EXACTLY chance. Lol.
