    Just make a few random predictions, and I'll try to remember to check this next year.

    OT: Jaybone will get a girl pregnant; the official US election thread will get 125 pages

    Politics: Obama wins re-election with less than 46% of the votes.

    Sports: A 6 seed or lower will make it to the NBA finals and it will go 7 games; Tiger wins 3 tournaments, but no majors.

    Deaths: Someone from the original Spice Girls, N-Sync or Backstreet Boys

    TV: There will be a weekly live concert show on Friday nights on a major network (see Midnight Special); someone on a reality show will commit suicide during filming.

    Poker: Several states will introduce a daily poker tournament as part of their state lottery system.

    Nature: The biggest earthquake in the lower 48 states will be a 5.8. 3 Cat-3 hurricanes make landfall in the US.

    International: A president/leader in an Asian country will be assassinated; deaths associated with the East African famine will be over 300,000.

    Internet: Facebook loses about 15% of their current subscribers, large part due to a major security breach in April that brings Facebook down for 2 days.

    DJIA: Low 10,358; High 12,810; Finish 11,903.

    Oz of Gold: $1374

    OT: Smokecock finally posts pics of the rope and his wife. Rope appears to be much more appealing to the eyes.

    Politics: noone cares about CAD politics. The democratic system in Iraq breaks down and a new dictator rises to power.

    Sports: Tiger wins a major, the Heat win the NBA championship, Bruins repeat and the Angels win the World Series.

    Deaths: the Queen dies of complications from a stroke, another Jackson 5 member bites the dust.

    TV: finally a sitcom comparable to Seinfeld will become a part of our Thursday night ritual again.

    Poker: one of the major US casinos launches an online poker site which will be legal in the US and bring many OT'ers back to the virtual felt. A well known OTer will final table the WSOP. Lederer gets prison time for his role with Fulltilt poker.

    Nature: a flood wipes out half of Quebec but leaves downtown Montreal alone.

    International: the world focuses on North Korea and Iran as the fear of Nuclear weapons continues to grow. Uprisings similar to Lybia and Egypt continue to liberate nations across the world in 2012.

    US - in the wake of the Occupy movement, US citizens take to the street to show their dissapproval for the corporate greed and government bailouts. This will be more violent and similar to the protests from the late 60s and early 70s ( I hope this one doesnt come true--I am not anti american by any means..)

    Internet: I hate to copy spanky, but I really think the momentum of Facebook will slow by epic proportions. Something bigger than FB and Twitter will be introduced to us all and we will forget that facebook ever existed.

    US Dollar -- the US dollar will regain strength in the back 1/4 of the year reaching a 4 yr high.
    World Juniors - Canada over Sweden 4-3 in a shootout. Stone scores the SO winner.

    NY Resolution : I hit my goal of losing 50 LBs by late October and manage to significantly change my lifestyle and begin feeling good about myself again.

    Cheers All...

    Here is mine

    Politics: Obama loses presidential bid, but rallies to win the Kenyan Prime Minister’s post.

    Sports: NFL Referee Jeff Triplette will be forced into retirement when a routine medical check reveals he has been brain-dead since 1989.

    Deaths: Lindsay Lohan will die by drunkenly driving head-on into a semi-truck.

    TV: A Reality show contestant will be killed in a stunt gone wrong, effectively bringing an end to reality tv shows.

    Poker: The DOJ will declare all forms of on-line poker a criminal attempt to launder drug money and will arrest all 93,421 US citizens who had accounts with FTP as suspected narco- terrorists.

    Nature: The coyote will make a huge comeback and eat most of the population of Arizona.

    International: Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad will receive the Sadam Hussein Leadership Award by re-introducing nerve gas as a crowd-control measure.

    Internet: The US Congress will declare the entire internet as a subversive media vulnerable to piracy and will make having a modem a criminal offense punishable by death or life imprisonment.

    The Dow: The federal government will bankrupt, the US economy will crash, sending the DJIA down to below 100.

    Gold: Will rise to $10,000/oz.

    Space: Aliens will finally make contact, but only to declare our DNA is unsuitable for creating a suitable hybrid to save their dying civilization, and will then turn the earth into a charcoal briquette with a giant death ray.
