Post Your 2010 Predictions Here

The dead rock star I mentioned earlier will come back to life. Some fans will think he's Christ. The music will suffer.
 
There will be a federal election in Australia. As a result a political leader will go onto the backbench. Someone will say it is "The most important election since..."
 
Okay, this looks like fun. Fueled by sleep deprivation and cola, I now present...

Ten Predictions For 2010

  1. There will be a major earthquake in Europe, thousands will die.
  2. There will be a mass outbreak of disease in a third-world country.
  3. An American celebrity will be found dead in a hotel room.
  4. Michael Jackson sightings will be reported in major media outlets. Comparisons to Elvis Presley sightings will be made.
  5. Unseasonably cold weather will be used by climate change deniers as evidence that global warming is a hoax.
  6. The Million Dollar Challenge will come to an end without being claimed... prompting at least one psychic to accuse James Randi of ending the challenge to avoid having to part with the money.
  7. An environmental catastrophe will occur, bringing disgrace to a multi-million dollar industry for unsafe transport of dangerous substances.
  8. There will be trouble aboard the International Space Station.
  9. Polar Bears will be officially added to the endangered species list.
  10. Sylvia Browne will die of natural causes. Several followers will step forwards and claim to have been in contact with her spirit.
 
Every year since 1997, I have accurately predicted the no-show of Planet X. Contining with that 100% accuracy rate, I once again predict that Planet X will not appear in 2010.

The Planet Xers wish they had my track record for accuracy.
 
After reading John's post I will now predict that there will be several new planets discovered orbiting other suns. One of which will be the smallest yet.
 
Oh! Fun!!

Several 'new' products will hit grocery store shelves, contents very much like existing grocery store products.

USPS will no longer have Saturday postal service as a cost cutting device. Cost of stamps will still go up.

Christmas & Happy Holidays advertising will come a few days earlier in 2010 then in 2009. Holiday Bats:rule10 will be a new psychiatric condition.

Planet Xers still exist?
 
A celebrity will die...we shall then hear about it endlessly on TV. 4chan will then turn their death into the newest internet meme.
 
I already made mine several months ago, in a separate thread...but here they are again (so that when most/all of them incredibly come true, I have further verification of the original psychic claims):

Here are my predictions for 2010...based purely on guesswork, and some application of probability. I'll put them here on the official record, so we can see how my success rate compares with that of professed psychics :)

* On Feb. 17 or 18, a major obstruction/accident on the road to Whistler will result in major delays at the Winter Olympics, as both athletes and ticket holders will be unable to make it to the events. This will kick off a massive protest against the Olympics within Canada, as the rest of the world heaps scorn on them.

* Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt will announce their amicable separation; they will go to great lengths to emphasize that both will still have a major role in the upbringing of their children.

* During the summer, an earthquake will hit California that will cause significant damage

* China will suffer the first death of one of its astronauts when a tragedy hits one of their rockets

* Increased Palestinian attacks against Israel in the latter half of 2010 will provoke retaliatory strikes that will result in the greatest one-day civilian death toll in the last 10 years, causing Obama's administration to withdraw significant support for the Israeli cause

* Robert Mugabe will be removed as President of Zimbabwe (either by death, or by action of others); significant civil unrest will result, but a new leader will rise to bring stability back. He will undo many of Mugabe's laws, and be heralded by the west as a big step forward, although in truth little will change (at least in the short term) for the average Zimbabwean.

* Rush Limbaugh will be involved in a major sex scandal (just the fact that there is a woman who'd have sex with him is scandalous enough!)

* There will be a brief flurry of excitement as signals of potentially extraterrestrial intelligent origin are found...but they will soon be discovered to be a result of a new but non-intelligent phenomenon.
Unlike most of the posers here, I'm not making Barnum statements that will easily be fulfilled...and once my predictions are proven true, you will all marvel in the magnificence that is me!
 
I predict that somebody will claim that any sigmificant event that happens in 2010 was predicted by Nostradamus, and will cite some nonsensical (are there any other kind?) quote from his writings as "proof".
 
Ooo, can I play?

A scandal involving the Jackson family and misuse of funds from his late estate will be first reported by TMZ. An 'expert' who has never met the children will be interviewed and will give his psychological evalution of this scenario.

There will be less psychics predicting the end of the world because they are waiting for 2012. The psychics will instead be calling for universal enlightenment.

Information will emerge wherein it is established that some private citizens are trailed by shady men in black characters because they hold secret esoteric knowledge that could potentially used to rule the world.

Hidden messages have been appearing in music video clips, movies and in songs to support the above.

Dan Brown will be interviewed on television and sidestep any questions concerning conspiracy theories because it helps his bank balance.

Oprah will do something controversial that no one really would care about if it was not Oprah.

The Australian bushfires this year will not have anywhere near the same number of fatalities as last.

An international peadophile ring will be exposed, people will be shocked, SHOCKED, that doctors, lawyers and politicians are among the perps. Interviews with workmates, friends and spouses will establish that those involved, 'Seemed like such a nice person'.

Madeline McCann will stay missing.

There's my ten, I also have the numbers for The Spanish Lottery if anyone is interested.
 
Right, hold on a minute...
Weather lighter in Australia, Sri Lanka, than usual. Aus still gets firestorms, but this time authorities will learn from the past season somewhat. A 'tried and tested' method will be sorted out in the years to follow, but this will completely fail in a massive outbreak sometime around 2013, due to extreme circumstances.


General Motors will be caught slap bang in the middle of an 'Energy-gate', along with several prominent car manufacturers. Oil companies will recieve massive scrutiny over this, but crucially, the media will uncover a relatively small scale scandal which will be blown up into something bigger than it is, by a relatively new player in the media world, after initial hush-up. The resulting outcry will set the tone of the public for the rest of the decade, causing major problems in the following years.

A new defiantly toneless style of music will emerge, a long with a whole matching subculture. The emphasis of the music will be on the beat, and getting the adrenalin pumping. The result will be a thoroughly extreme new type of rebellious culture for the new youth to discover, which unlike the others, will be actually and directly dangerous, instead of just detrimental in the long-term. Society and religion will quickly separate itself from what it sees as a bunch of raving lunatics being unbearably stupid, but Secret Services and other military organizations will instead see a new recruiting ground, filled with people who are comfortable with and enthuse in what the rest of the public see as extreme danger, and have trained themselves to the point of superhuman ability in order to survive their own comfort zone. The observing scientific community will immediately prick up their ears, and the until recently obscure field of Noetic Sciences will gain considerable interest.

Technological progress will begin to hit a slow spot, lasting almost a decade,but not quite.
 
Some predictions (most are serious; a couple are not):

* There will be a federal election in Canada
* President Obama's popularity will rise once he passes health care reform and closes the Guantanamo Bay prison camp
* There will be concerns about the health of Queen Elizabeth II
* The Large Hadron Collider will produce a scientific breakthrough, possibly even the Higgs boson
* There will be a scandal involving a political or religious leader and a member of the same sex
* The Truth Movemnet will get smaller and some of the groups will disband due to lack of interest
* India and Pakistan will rattle a lot of sabres and may even send troops into the other's country
* Sylvia Browne will go on another farewell tour in the latter half of the year
* There will be concerns about the health of James Randi
* Duke Nukem Forever will be released
* Amy Winehouse will find Jesus and kick her dependency habits
* Dutch will continue posting in the Hyper Dimensional Design thread. He won't say anything new.
