While in the grocery store today I saw that the trash magazines had already started their annual predictions. So I propose a game where the SMDB makes their predictions as well. Year end we’ll see who is most accurate. Your predictions may be serious or silly, whatever you want. I’ll start:
A massive earthquake will hit the western part of the US in a month that starts with the letter J. This will be one of the largest in recent history.
A huge Air Traffic accident will take place in May or June, further crushing the already soft air travel market.
The Economy will gradually stabilize, despite dire predictions to the contrary. Both the Republicans and the Democrats will take credit for this.
New artifacts will be found calling into doubt the beliefs of a major religion. Skeptics will embrace the findings, but the true believers will call it a hoax.
A major breakthrough in medicine will be announced, along the lines of a cure for cancer or a vaccination for AIDS.
In a month that is associated with cool weather, a cyber-attack will be made on the central hubs that support the Internet. This attack will be caught in time and the event will go virtually unnoticed by the general public.
Khadaji will once again break his vow to lose weight and get healthy.
A young woman with a great body and little talent will have a number one record. Pundits will point out that sex sells, but her supporters will compare her to a young Madonna.
The fact that I am professional psychic prevents me from entering but I’d just like to say congratulations to David Fincher, Colin Firth, Natalie Portman, Annette Bening and Christian Bale on the Oscars and also say what a tragedy that you all died in the disaster at the ceremony.
A major tragedy will happen in New York VCity, and Mayor Bloomberg will give a news conference less than an hour after it hasppens to announce “We’re not sure of the cause, but we’ve ruled out terrorism.”
A major celebrity will experience a sex scandal, and will hold a press conference to apologize.
A major rock musician will die of natural causes, and another will overdose.
A Broadway musical written by major players that cost mega-millions will be a mega failure.
Her replacment will be Leah Ward Spears, the former Chief Justice of Georgia.
New York, Maryland, Rhode Island, and possibly Hawai’i will legalize same-sex marriage by legislative vote. In California the 9th Circuit will dismiss the appeal in Perry v. Schwarzenegger due to lack of Article 3 standing; SCOTUS will decline to intervene and same-sex couple will be able to marry again in time for a June wedding.
There shall be rumours of things going astray, and there shall be a great confusion as to where things really are, and nobody will really know where lieth those little things with the sort of raffia work base that has an attachment. At this time, a friend shall lose his friend’s hammer and the young shall not know where lieth the things possessed by their fathers that their fathers put there only just the night before, about eight o’clock.
I also predict that the world will become an even crappier place as irresponsible idiots, who have been given an unfeasible amount of power, continue to ruin it for the rest of us.
William and Kate’s Royal Wedding will not go off without a hitch, and there will be some serious drama leading up to, or associated with, the event.
There will be a large earthquake, killing many, but not where one would normally expect to see an earthquake this size happen.
A foreign leader will be assassinated, causing a ripple effect in ways that are not obvious in the first days after the assassination.
There will be a significant breakthrough in green technology that will have immediate, and positive effects.
Though not a cure, science will discover a cause for a leading illness that will make it easier to treat and less deadly to those with the illness.
A famous celebrity will be arrested for murder and it will make headlines for months.
The Superbowl will be more interesting than people thought it would be, even for non-football fans.
Sarah Palin will announce her candidacy for President, pissing off many Republicans and leading to a bitter primary in 2012 - with lots of mud slinging and interesting personal and political revelations.
DMark will win a huge amount of money, and gladly pay for membership for every person on the board, as well as travel around the world to meet many of them in person, bringing pie.
The Kentucky Derby will be won by a retired racing greyhound. The pet of a spectator, the dog will slip it’s leash and run onto the track, just as the race starts, lead the entire pack for the entire race, and win by 3 lengths.
Also the sun will rise 365 times. Surprisingly enough, sometime in the morning hours, each time, without exception.
I hereby open the thread to professional psychics too!
