h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I'll finish this message with a period.

And also St. Mirren shall win the 1st Division.

Period.

Here's one... I predict that within the first hour of 2000 (GMT/UTC) someone somewhere will predict something that will eventually come to be and that some will say, "Ahhhh.. how'd he/she know that? That was really good! No one in .... time could possibly have imagined that. Must have been real!" And that during the same time someone somewhere will predict something that shall never come to pass, and shall be deemed a heretic and/or a charlatan.

Predictions:

An american born citizen will win the american presidential election of 2000. The new head of state will be an over fourty male of the protestant faith, belonging to either the Republican or the Democratic party.

Microsoft Inc. will merge with Starbucks Inc. to become the most evil Corporation in existance.

A man named Fred will die horribly in New York while simultaneously a young boy named Fred will be born in San Francisco.

Instead of losing socks in the dryer, people will begin finding all the socks lost over the decades since dryers were invented. Most probably they will not be finding their own socks.

China will not declare war on the United States of America.

The United States of America will not declare war on China.

Sheriff Joe Arpio of Arizona's Maricopa County will declare war on Mexico. Pat Buchanan, Ross Perot, and Gov. Jesse Ventura will support Arpio's cause, sending reinforcements. They will lose.

Tom Hanks and Jim Carrey will recieve Oscar Nominations. Tom Arnold will not.

Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny will come out of hiding and proclaim their existance to the world. Jerry Falwell will find a way to make them appear to be homosexuals.

American high school students all over the country will note that George Orwell's book "1984" is somewhat out of date. Their parents will humor them.

The general population of the USA will still refuse to convert to the Metric System.

Madona will reinvent herself, while the Rolling Stones will continue to earn millions of dollars doing pretty much the same thing they have been for what is getting close to half a century now.

Some of my predictions will prove false, some will prove true, and some will be unprovable.

Thank you for listening. Have a good mellinium.

Hihihi. I like.

I predict that the sun will still require darkening protection over the naked eye when stared into.

I also predict that this will still not give a any better a tan.

I predict that in a few minutes I will have posted a new journal entry.

I also predict that on January 1st 2000, hangovers will not be any more pleasant than usual.

I predict that Wednesday will begin as a very bad day, but it will improve about 3pm, after I've started my Christmas Holiday:

I forgot; I also predict that we will hate exams just as much as we do now, in the new millenium.

Did you know that the St Mirren manager used to be my Maths teacher?

No, but I predicted it.

Really? Was he as tough on you as he is the Saints players?

Oh, he wasn't that bad, he just had a loud threatening voice (to a first year, that is )

I predict that in the year 2999 there will be an argument over the true beginning of the new millennium.

'Nonnie

I predict I will not live to see that day. But hey, whaddya do.
