Actualy 2038 is the next Y2K problem. I plan on supplementing my retirement income helping fix this one.
 
I predict that no one will win the JREF million dollar prize.

I will also not win any major lottery.

The earth will rotate another 366 times during the calendar year.

Life will not be found elsewhere in the universe.

No evidence of any gods will happen.

Time travel will still be fiction.
 
What the hell:

(1) There will be a major US sports scandal involving refs.
(2) SETI will detect an intriguingly ambiguous external signal.
(3) There will be an extremely high-profile incident in which one celebrity attempts to murder another.
(4) One of the most respected and beloved people on earth will do something really heinous.
(5) The food at the Summer Olympics will cause an international incident.
 
It turns out that successfully predicting an unusual event is actually the cause of it happening. If you have made any prediction which comes true then watch out - you could be held responsible for any damages incurred!

I pity those who predicted the death of some innocent person, as they may soon be facing a murder charge. I myself have predicted that 55% of the World's population will die, but that claim is not specific enough to warrant prosecution (if I had claimed an exact number of deaths then I might be in trouble, but I'm not that stupid).

You'd better hope, otherwise don't be surprised when you get the bill...
 
The thread "In this thread, try to kill the thread" will die a natural death next year, with the final post being made in March.
 
  1. A pet dog will be shot by an unknown assailant. The story will completely dominate the news for two weeks while the nation-wide manhunt evolves. The dog will recover fully after two days observation for what was basically a flesh wound.
  2. A fishing boat will return to port, but with the entire crew inexplicably missing.
  3. An avant garde movie director will direct a movie shot entirely on film and without the use of any computer graphics.
  4. The United States and Canada will swap New Jersey and greater New York City for Quebec. After initial jubulation, both countries will declare war on the other after realizing they each got a raw deal.
  5. A new variety of black-eyed peas will be discovered. The discovery will go mostly unnoticed.
  6. Human saliva will be found to be a carcinogen, but only when ingested in very small doses over an extended period of time.
  7. A politician from Wisconsin will keep not just one, but two campaign promises.
  8. Apple Computer will attempt to re-introduce the Apple Newton.

Sadly this is looking more and more likely http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011...ces-raid-cairo but not sure the US will step in to support the army after the raids reported on the news.

To the shame of the world for standing by, you are probably also right on 2 :(
 
21. Those at risk in 2012 include C.D. & J.A.
22. One of the most popular books of 2012 will feature a pig.
 
The death of one well known
Shall proceed the famine there
And thus two lions joined shall be
as fearsome as the bear.

As two, but one, in victory,
yet with unwarranted restraint,
a maelstrom of a jeweled flair,
amidst a cacophony of complaint.

I was looking into a bowl of water when the above poem came to mind. I had inhaled deeply, and let out a stream of billowing smoke, followed by loud coughing. As I looked into the bowl I knew I had been given a glimpse of the future. I also began to have a craving for Nacho cheese Doritos.
 
Bugs Bunny and the Looney Tunes characters will zoom to popularity in levels unseen since the 1960s.
The Hobbit will be the highest-grossing film of 2012.
The city of Chicago will be beset by a major tragedy - terrorist attack or natural disaster.
Joe Biden will leave the Democratic ticket due to health reasons.
Global outcry over child labor conditions will rock Chinese manufacturing industry.
Significant medical advances to be seen in the fight against Muscular Dystrophy. Significant crimes linked to Oxycodone and Oxycontin addiction will escalate sharply in the first half of the year, leading to Congress seeking a ban in its use for all but pallative care.
Google + will fizzle.
A music celebrity will die at the age of 27.
Two major auto companies will announce a merger.

2012 is a leap year. Hence there are 366 calendar days in that year.

Yes I know. However the Earth revolves around the Sun. Imagine if the Earth did not rotate. The stars would face the same direction all year round. However you would also have one day a year. If the same side of the Earth faced the Sun (as the moon does to the Earth) then there would be zero days, you would be able to see different stars throughout the year and the Earth would rotate once per year (with respect to the stars). Returning to reality, in fact the Earth will rotate 367 days in 2012.

Sorry for derailing this thread with Science.
 
Spontaneous human combustion will finally be demonstrated in adolescent females, when teen pop sensation Justin Bieber is announced to co-star alongside Robert Pattinson in a controversial Twilight prequel titled "Bilight - Edward's Confused Years".

Nothing to apologise for. It's a bit like the end of Around the World in 80 days when they realise that having circumnavigated the world and crossed the date line, they've experienced one extra day than has been seen in London.
