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.
There you have it folks...check back with us in about 16 months to see how I scored!
