Sylvia's predictions for 2006

[Lisa Simpson]

Yes, I knew about ghrelin and leptin, but I was going on the assumption that Sylvia meant something new and perhaps something along the lines of insulin, that would be injected to control weight. Hard to tell exactly, because Sylvia is so unspecific. There was a breakthrough along these lines I think in Australia. But I don't feel like researching it at the moment. I'm watching The Simpsons Season 9 DVDs.

There has been mention of one recently, Acomplia (rimonabant). It's approved in Europe but not in the States. I think this is what Montel was alluding to when listing her hits.

Here's another for this year:Britney Spears will divorce.Can't fail!

Tony Blair will resign before his end of term.
Michael douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones will seperate.
Madonna will go around buying babies(at least one more) from poor countries as she plays copycat with Angeline Jolie.
An earthquake will hit eastern China.

Lastly Sylvia Browne will still refuse the million dollar challenge.(Dead cert)

'06 will be just as bad, if not worse for natural disasters, including NYC and LA, but Los Angeles won't be as bad as NYC. Wrong. We had some wild fires here in SoCal, but those are typical.

Nah, you're reading it all wrong. 06 was terrible for natural disasters. There were hardly any. It's a hit.

Arnie won't win again. Wrong. Arnie won. She also missed the fact that The Governator would break his leg in 06.

He didn't win the resort's skiing competition though. It's a hit.

She's worried about trucks and terrorism. Nothing happened. But there's still 2 more days.

Nothing has to happen. A plot is enough. If a terrorist drives a van in the next 5-25 years, it's a hit.

Bruce Willis will marry a younger woman. She's a 19 or 20 year old model. False. I think. I'm not up on my Bruce Willis gossip.

Bruce is very secretive. He will announce it soon. It's a hit!

Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas--trouble on the homefront. False. Still married.

You clearly have not been in the car when Catherine is reading the map. Boy, is that a hit!

The best thing in 2006 is we will be bringing the troops home. False.

Some troops have come home. Others have gone out. Guess what? A hit!

She's a freaking miracle.

I was being generous and counting the HPV vax as a hit.

That's what I thought, just wanted to be sure I hadn't missed the medical breakthrough of the century.

I wouldn't give her that as a hit, but that's just me being all technical and anal. I'm sure she'll claim it was a slam dunk.
