i was going to make predictions, but they would probably get this thread yanked and La Tigresse's view seems most correct. The world will continue, and the BS that flies around doesn't mean diddly squat if one has someone to hold on to.

Actually, according to a theory worked out by one math professor, predictions can be made based on certain mathematical formula. According to his theory, the future can be calculated based on trends that have occurred in the past, since the one constant is human behavior.

So, in theory, any one of the predictions we have made in this thread, while extremely unlikely, has a chance to happen.

It's True, but then again Mathamatically we don't exist so who you gunna believe.

According to Douglas Adams and The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy The Universe is Infinite, That means there are an Infinite number of Planets. In order to get the Population of the universe the idea was to divide the number of Planets that Sustain Life By those that do not. When you divide a Finite Number by an Infinite one you get ZERO Meaning the Population of the Universe is Zero and None of us exist.

Perhaps the Bowl of Petunias understands why this is.

February 6th I will be cooking like a fiend
February 7th Greedy Top and Da Pirate will have a wonderful wedding
February 7th Many people will meet for the first time from CM and will head off for an evening of chat and play at the Woodshed after the wedding
The pessimists who post to these fora will continue to blame the new administration for the mistakes of the past administrations.
The stock market will tank again..GLOBALLY
Companies will find that ALL countries are now demanding their fair share of taxes from them and begin to pull back to home shores and paying taxes where they earn most of their money.
Many companies will file for Bankruptcy, looking to restart as new companies but sans the debts of the old...some will be denied the protections of it and instead be forced to restructure debt and fulfill contracts with their employees.
Health care in the US will continue to languish behind the rest of the world leaders, but some major changes will be made
Free trade will undergo some modifications and companies that outsource will lose tax credits here
The Patriot act will be revisited in 2009-2010 and some of the Freedoms this country fought for will be returned. The Constitutional Rights will be returned to Citizens.
Someone will make an attempt on President Obama's life. It will fail.

There will be at MINIMUM 3 Hurricane landfalls that do major damage, 1 flood, 6 tornadoes, 2 wildfires, 3 earthquakes ( only 1 U.S.) 2 droughts, and 3 major blizzards this year as well as 1 Volcanic Eruption of major proportion.
