I prefer to make new year predictions than resolutions..2004...

http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=22168&b=2

The Michael Jackson one was quite close.

So 2013...

1/ We will figure out a new type of levitation of materials.
2/ TV channels will be pirated, and taken over for a couple of hours.
3/ A mysterious object will be found buried on the moon.
4/ A new type of whale will be discovered.
5/ Another nuclear accident.

Yeah, more than half way through the year seems like a perfectly valid time to create this thread

4 and 5 are way too probable. Tell me more about this mysterious object on the moon, sounds interesting.

I predict... humanana homanana humanana ho (that is my prediction chant)...
1. McDonald's are caught putting badger meat in their burgers.
2. Someone is caught trying to hide a bomb under their hat.
3. Israel bombs Iran.
4. Obama comes out as an atheist. (Right after 3? hehe)
5. The body of some legendary figure is discovered (not Jebus)
6. A religious sect declares Che Guevara a saint.
7. New York loses power for three days.
8. Pincho doesn't get any of his predictions right.

I am setting up my crystals and lighting my special incense, banging my Himalayan drum and... and... dammit, I cant get my legs in the lotus position, so accuracy is not guaranteed, however...

1: John Farnam will go on tour.
2: At least one major newspaper will bite the dust.
3: The pope will cause public outrage at least twice.
4: John Edwards will lose a loved one and enter a deep depression over unresolved issues with that person.
5: Autotune will turn on its masters and their tortured screams will be musical and hilarious.
6: Cats will go on strike and refuse to do anything funny.

I'm not a complete idiot -- Some parts are just missing.

Maybe we should have a dead pool as well...

I got a fever, and the only prescription, is more memes.

1. Homeopathy will still show no positive results in clinical trials this year.
2. People will still believe homeopathy works despite it a) simply being dreamt up by some guy, b) having no scientific explanation, c) having no detectable biological qualities in its remedies, and d) having no real evidence of it working.
3. People will lose more of their freedoms.
4. Solar panels will drop to an affordable price (not so unlikely considering the new technology that allows them to be produced at half the cost).
5. Football will be played.

To be fair all of these things are very likely to happen. I prefer Pincho's predictions.

When Michael Jackson died the generation gap hit me in the face, I suddenly realised that one day I would have to explain to someone who Michael Jackson was, that seems absurd to me.

I don't know why but a while ago I chose a celebrity as my "canary down the mine", someone who has seemingly always been around and whose death would signal a watershed moment for me. I chose Dustin Hoffman, who is now 75, hang in there Dustin! I don't want to be an old crony just yet!

I think Clint is going to hang around a good while longer, he's a stubborn mule. This is such a morbid thing to contemplate... it's like Death Note...

I think if you predict a death they should be young anyway. This prediction thing is meant to be about unlikely, or untimely events.

So a better celebrity death would be Freddy Star.
