Post Your 2012 Predictions Here

24. An elaborate fakery will get out of hand.
Last month, a woman got arrested for an elaborate fakery in which she pretended to have cancer. She admitted that she conned "donors out of money and services for her wedding and Caribbean honeymoon." The con involved some extensive lies and creation of bogus documents. The Associated Press story, reported here, includes this line:
"She got caught up in something and it just got out of hand," [Vega's lawyer Jeremiah] Flaherty said.
That's another hit.
 
A sign shall come that shall be hailed
As an omen of great doom,
The music ends as one is jailed,
No great myst'ry in the room.
This poem refers to multiple events. The "sign" was not the annular eclipse. The "music ends" was not necessarily in reference to the deaths of Davy Jones. Or Whitney Houston. Or Donna Summer. Or Robin Gibb. Or Levon Helm. Or Dick Clark. Or Duck Dunn. Or Chuck Brown. Or Adam Yauch. Or oh my gosh there have been a lot of musicians to go this year, haven't there?
 
11. A prominent celebrity comes out of the closet. This creates a stir for about a week, then nobody gives a darn.
Jim Parsons, star of one of the most popular TV comedies, has just confirmed what has long been suspected. The stir is that some are saying, "This is news?"
 
6. A major Star Trek actor will "beam up" to the REAL final frontier.
Brown, not only was your prediction correct, but a prominent newspaper used the exact same terminology you did last December.

From the Christian Science Monitor:
"SpaceX takes Star Trek's 'Scotty' to the Final Frontier"
By Clara Moskowitz, Space.com / May 22, 2012
Cape Canaveral, Fla.
Scotty has finally been beamed up. The ashes of the actor James Doohan, who played Scotty on the 1960s television series "Star Trek," were launched to space this morning (May 22) on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket.

The CSM even changed the headline from what Space.com originally published, adding one of the Trek metaphors.


Ladies and gentlemen, how does Brown do it?
 
What will really happen in 2012

A cure for death and/or limitless energy derived from nuclear fusion and/or a solution to the Middle East will be discovered at exactly the same time the climate flips into irreversible, hyper-accelerated global warming (this will happen just after the asteroid near miss).

OR

There will be a predicted and spectacular meteor shower visible across the entire planet which almost everyone will watch only to wake up the next day blind and under attack from walking, man-eating plants. Only those who had the good sense to read The Day of the Triffids will survive.

May as well do a victory lap: A Winnipeg Free Press columnist also adopted my predicted terminology:
Scotty returns to final frontier

They finally did it.

They beamed Scotty up.
 
2a. Nearly all media outlets will insist on calling the Higgs particle "The God Particle," and a group of scientists will politely ask that this naming convention be discontinued. The scientists will be personally insulted by various religious groups because of this.
Higgs Boson May Be Real, Just Don't Call It the 'God Particle' (published March 7, 2012):
While American physicists today offer more tantalizing evidence that the Higgs boson exists, the term journalists once loved to call it, the "God particle," is going out of fashion.
...
In short, though scientists, with their typical hesitation, are saying nothing has been proven, it's another step closer to knowing that the Higgs boson is real. It's the last undiscovered particle in the Standard Model, the theory reputed to explain the behavior of particles, which has led to the media to dubbing it the "God particle," even though scientists resent the name. "I hate that “God particle’ term," one member of the CERN team in Europe said last December. "The Higgs is not endowed with any religious meaning. It is ridiculous to call it that."
 
15. A controversy will surround an exhibit at a major museum.
And indeed, there is a controversy. If this were to happen in the US, the word "controversy" would probably not be strong enough.

Museum's sex exhibit has Heritage Minister hot and bothered:
Canada's Heritage Minister says an Ottawa museum is acting outside its mandate by showcasing an exhibit designed to educate teenagers about sex.

"Sex: A Tell-all Exhibition" will open Thursday at the Crown corporation Canada Science and Technology Museum. Even before opening day, the museum faced backlash over the exhibition – which had been shown in Montreal and Regina without similar incident – from about 50 people, including parents and Heritage Minister James Moore.
According to people who have actually seen the exhibit, the information presented is factual, is not erotic, does not encourage sexual irresponsibility, and there isn't much of a real cause for controversy. But Canadian right-wingers, following in the practice of US right-wingers, find offense without feeling any need to bother about scientific accuracy or actually seeing the exhibit.
 
32. The number 2-1-8 or 2-8-1 will have some significance.
From Politico (published 20 May 2012):
John Boehner: '218 frogs'

House Speaker John Boehner says his Republican caucus often acts like a bunch of antsy amphibians.

"It is hard to keep 218 frogs in a wheelbarrow long enough to get a bill passed," the Ohio Republican said in an interview aired Sunday on ABC’s "This Week" when asked about the internal criticism of his leadership style.
 
within days

There will be another mass shooting. Cops will kill the man responsible.

OMFSM you are right, if you join two incidences. :jaw-dropp
Today on the radio: A Finnish guy shot at people from his rooftop, two died.
And a Dutch guy died after threatening to stab a policewoman. Her colleague shot him, he stabbed her and he died.
Must be connected, since you predicted it.
