LMBO!!! [:D][:D]http://www.click-smilies.de/sammlung0903/lachen/laughing-smiley-017.gif

Well, here are some hopefuls:

Someone from the PFs wins the Nobel (or some such prize) and gives full credit to me...http://www.click-smilies.de/sammlung0903/lachen/laughing-smiley-011.gif (I meant all of it up to the giving-credit-to-me part...they should give credit to the PFs though).

M-Theory is proven to be the ToE, all because of an earth-shattering paper published by me! [6)] (Again, meant all of it up to the part that included me...it'll probably be Witten).

Bush is not re-elected...unless he gets a really good excuse to declare a state of national emergency or something.

The new atom-smasher at CERN will discover supersymmetric partner particles (sparticles) or Q-balls, or WIMPS or something.

I will turn 16 (that's right up there with those other ones, right?).

[Mentat]

Oh yeah, and consciousness if finally fully explained by science, and it is recognized that Dennett's standards for such a theory were correct to begin with...

And I get to 6000 posts...

And rub it in all your faces http://www.click-smilies.de/sammlung0903/lachen/laughing-smiley-003.gif [;)].

We make first contact with something, maybe even the beagle probe!

Turtles move faster.
Chicken becomes more expensive.
Someone in Hollywood will get a divorce.
Aliens will become more disgusted with mankind.

[photon]

I'll be 13, and the whole world will be celebrating.

Not sure if they'll be celebrating for me being one year older, or one year closer to my death.[:D]

I'll be a PF mentor.

Aliens will visit Stephen Hawking and tell him everything.

[phi1978]

Bush loses the US election.

Tony Blair either stands down voluntarily or is forced to resign.

Michael Schumacher and Ferrari fail to win the Formula 1 World Championship.

[Dimitri Terryn]

I get my bachelor in mathematics
I get my bachelor in physics
Iraq will get a democratic government and the US pulls out partially.
Civil war in Iraq
The pope manages to last another year
Bush loses to Wesley Clarke (sp?)

[einsteinian77]

Bush will not get reelected and space-time will collapse.

[Tsu]

PrudensOptimus gets a date (maybe).

[recon]

I get to celebrate by birthday on the correct day for once.

Feb 29th, dudes!

[recon]

The whole world celebrates.

(Edit: On account of my birthday)

[recon]

I celebrate on a scale comparable to Bilbo Baggin's 111 birthday.

[recon]

And posting in one-liners becomes the trend of the PF community!

[one_raven]

For me:
I publish my first novel.
I finally find the missing keys in my TOE (regardless if I publish it or if anyone believes me, just for my own edification and sleep).

For the world:
A moron will win the US presidential election.
We will not acheive world peace.
The Middle East will be in turmoil.
We will find out that something we thought was good for us causes cancer.
The US will become even more hated than it currently is, and for good reason.

[selfAdjoint]

Politics.

Bush replaces Cheney with Condaleeza Rice as VP. Wins anyway.

Bush drops dead and Rice becomes president. Shock and Awe!

Rice declares war on Saudi Arabia. Easy victory followed by violent rebellion in middle east. Iran offers help in return for control of Mecca, US agrees. Mecca nuked.

Science.

Life created.

Dark energy lit up.

LQG untangled.

Witten discovers TOE, but no one can figure out what he means.

Art

Some no-talent youth singer marries some other no-talent youth singer. They split up, remarry, etc., illustrating Zeno's paradox.

Hey! At least I didn't try to set up Greg with Monique!

[Njorl]

Al Qaeda will attempt to tailor a major terrorist strike against the US so as to affect the presidential elections. In my opinion, they want to keep the US government conservative. They want to isolate the US from Europe, and the western nations from the Muslim nations. They will strike a target that is more symbolic than populous, though it might be both. They may strike at something like the Statue of Liberty, or the Republican convention. This will generate sympathetic support for conservatives, and produce a violent reaction. With conservatives in power, Al Qaeda will be in a better position vis a vis conventional Muslim governments. A strike that kills many people indiscriminately would be seen as a failure of the Bush admininstration, and would lose Bush votes, and would generate international sympathy toward the US.

There will be more questions created than answers found to previous questions. Just like every year.

At the moment, i predict that January is over.

I also predict that....

I will be one year closer to maturity (physical age 19, mental age 4). Heh i get a brain cake!

Bush loses the election and is replaced by a sack of potatoes.

The potatoes manage world peace.

Tony Blair drowns in a freak yachting accident. He is replaced by his dog (and i dont mean Cherie!). The dog does a better job.

The superstate of Europe's economy collapses because they spent all their money developing a new flag which says "i hate Britain" in every language of Europe apart from English.

Soap sales in France reach rock bottom

Chad becomes a super power.

Spiderman 2 will be released.

Guns N Roses' new album 'Chinese Democracy' will be released...but i am not 100% confident on that. Axl may forget or something.

[hypnagogue]

I conservatively predict that by the end of 2004, zoobyshoe will have diagnosed every PF member with some form of temporal lobe epilepsy.

[:D]

[zoobyshoe]

I conservatively predict that by the end of 2004, Hypnagogue will have gone and hyped every gnu in Africa and all the world's zoos.
