OH! well if he's making predictions, than I will have to make some!
I predict several things for the coming year:
Cookies will become fashionable. Curiously, cookies made of both raisins and peanut butter will become a cultural phenomena, then fade into obscurity.
-The colour orange will no longer be called orange, but referred to as an "off-red" this will cause confusion of course so the name will be changed again to the "colour formerly known as orange", which will later be shortened to "orange".
Yellow will be the new Blue, scientists will spend several months trying to force the rainbow to swap the two colours, then give up and just use typedef's everywhere.
-Flying cars will be invented, as a means to cull the human gene pool of stupidity. the "flying car" of course consists of a standard vehicle and a trebuchet. Safety features include spikey ceilings, floors, and dashboards.
-The lost treasure of several sunken Spanish Galleons will appear in the lost and found box of an Iowa Post Office, Along with a bunch of sand and two copies of Celine Dion's latest album "Why the colour pink is my yellow" which was an attempt to market off the aforementioned plans to remap colours in the rainbow. As with her other music it will be terrible and the CDs will find their most utility balancing table legs.
-Speaking of table legs, a inventor will invent a table and chair that are self-correcting and will automatically adjust their leg length when they detect they are lop-sided. Lawsuits ensue when it is discovered that amputees sitting in the chair have their one good leg removed as a result.
-An evil wizard will come down from the mountains and cast a spell that brings all the trees in the world too life. This makes the job of lumberjacks and loggers the world over a test of ethical fortitude as they have to listen to the anguished screams as they chop down trees during the day and the boring stories about "hey, did I tell you about this bird that I saw fly by once" they tell during the night, which actually makes the former easier. Eventually the trees will demand their own nation and a preserve will be setup for them in the Amazon, but before that can happen the wizard get's bored and makes everything the way it was before.
-P will equal NP. I know. Crazy.
-Stuff will happen
