What, you thought WE were going to do the work for you? HA! Think again, DUers. We’re too hung over this New Years morn to do that. We want to hear from you what you think will happen this year. Let your minds range over all subjects from technology to science to politics to TV show season finales to anything else that you think will be different a year from now. We’ll award a prize at the end of the year for the prognosticator who scores a bullseye with the most unlikely item to come true: our undying thanks! Now get to it!
#20 – Another poor attempt at a comeback by an inferior mind. Keep trying, bitch. I enjoy the worship.
#20 LOL!
[edited: violation of blog guidelines -- enough with the personal attacks]
Japan will become a nuclear power and, with a few new hawks in power, will make a push for more territory. Which will garner them praise for removing North Korea from the map. The US will feel threatened that it took Japan less than a year to replace the NK government with a more stable one while we are still working on Iraq.
I hate to break it to you all but this is a waste of time. Back in, I forget, ’92 or some year like that I voted for John’s chili at the Comdex chili cook-off because he promised pocket protectors to all who did. He never sent it, he just kept telling me it was in the mail. Heed my warning, #9 – you will debase yourself all year and get “it’s in the mail” for your trouble. You just can’t depend on nothin’. It’s tragic, really.
Does that count as a prediction?
Hillary will announce her candidacy, and then in a surprise move, will name her husband “Wild Bill Clinton” as her running mate.
I’m not doing it for a supposed prize anyway
lol snap

#14, I gave that $995 to the Vonnage girl to have your child. Apparently she still owed on the implants.
In another prediction, … a lot of prognosticators will suggest the sky is falling. The same sky that fell in 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999, …
#28….Tallwookie….what the hell was that link all about?
My main prediction is that after considerable escalation in Iraq,
1) the US will go to war with Iran
and
2) the Republicans, so fed up with Bush’s bad attitude, and ill conceived war, will help impeach him.
1) Microsoft will ship VISTA Service Pack 1 before the end of 2007.
Jeb Bush will announce his candidancy for the Republican nomination.
2) Linux will splinter and die when Linus decides to retire and start a charitable foundation.
3) There will be research showing that the old 6 shours of TV viewing a day per person has been replaced by 1 hour of e-mailing. 1 hour of chatting , 1 hour of game playing, 1 hour of you tubing, 1 hour of blogging and 1 hour of my spacing. Of course most of this activity will be done at work on your employers time.
4) Sony will be split into a seperate entertainment company and a seperate consumer electronics company. The current holders of Sony stock will get shares in each company. The hardware company will bring out a device that infringes on the copyrights held by the entertainment company and the two companies will sue each other.
5.) Blue Ray and HD DVD will be rendered by irrelevant by1080P downloads.
6.) 1080P will be superceded by the 2160P displays.
7) Wimax will start a pilot deployment but no one will care.
9) Arnold Swarzenager (sp?) will lobby to amend the U.S. constitution so that foreign born citizens can be elected President. If he does not succeed look for one of his children to be groomed to enter politics.
10) Iran will join the nuclear family with technology bought from Pakistan and North Korea.
#31 said: “2) the Republicans, so fed up with Bush’s bad attitude, and ill conceived war, will help impeach him”
So that was what the guy holding the impeach banner on the rose parade meant.
#32 your 10th item is not a prediction, it’s been happening for at least a year and a half already
In a surprise announcement or test, Singapore becomes part of the nuclear club with a rapidly constructed, but mature, nuclear arsenal. Regional instability will be the reason given for their change in policy.
I’m no prognosticator, but this is fun. I’ll stick with one prediction (to minimize the embarrassment).
I CANT BELIVE YOU ALL MISSED THE MOST IMPORTANT PREDICTION!
MJ, The King of POP, Michael Jackson will release a new album that will revolutionize the goverment.
