8. Scientists will discover that feelings of déjà vu are not psychological but rather a very real physical anomaly they attribute to a quantum short pulse string vibration that very temporarily releases us from the relatively linear constraints of a single dimension time matrix.

Edited a mistake that I fully blame on my spell checker...

Uncertainty may make you uncomfortable. Certainty makes you ridiculous.

Why not question something for a change?

10. I predict that a comet will pass so closely over the earth that its tail will actually enter the earth's atmosphere, strangely affecting most countries and all terrorist organizations. The countries will come together at the United Nations and sign a declaration that condemns "all war and that peace, love and understanding will from this day forward be the guiding principal that all the peoples of the planet will live by." The United States delegation will walk out on the proceedings.

I hate predictions that require me to look up too many things. Nevertheless, I'm looking backward to the day that this will be discovered. Multi-verses can be so confusing.

1. It will be discovered that the Sun is acutally a big iron shell with a nutron star at it core.

2. Someone will notice that there is a Gila Monster in one the pictures from the mars rover and NASA will be forced to admit that the pictures are actually from Arizona and that we never went to Mars.

3. ID will be proven correct when an instruction sheet is found that dates to 3.5 billion years old.

4. The Science of God will be accepted by acedamia when it is revealed that the GUT has been discovered and one of the variables is God.

5. Paint Ball fade as a fad when the hottest new game Psi Ball takes over.

6. The rapture will occur and everyone will be 'left behind' because as it turns out the only correct christan sect died out in 1123 AD.



If I knew then what I know now then I would know more now than I know.

1) New data will show that predicted sea level and temperature rises for the next 100 years will in fact take place in less than 30 years, thus dooming hundreds of major cities.

2) General Motors and/or Ford Motors will declare bankrupcy.

3) Delta Airlines will finally be put to rest.

4) North Korea will not allow inspection teams access to the nuclear facilities. (too easy?)

5) New Orleans will have a disastrous and embarrassing MG and will not eclipse the 200K (45% of previous) population mark.

6) A major Dam in China will fail, from heavy flooding combined with corner cutting construction.

7) King Kong will not break the adjusted Titanic global box-office numbers, but will come within 10%.

8) Hot pink will be the new black.

"...things I have neither seen nor experienced nor heard tell of from anybody else; things, what is more, that do not in fact exist and could not ever exist at all. So my readers must not believe a word I say." -Lucian on his book True History

"...They accept such things on faith alone, without any evidence. So if a fraudulent and cunning person who knows how to take advantage of a situation comes among them, he can make himself rich in a short time." -Lucian critical of early Christians c.166 AD From his book, De Morte Peregrini

Fresh off their imaginary victory in the "War on Christmas", Pat, Jerry and the boys will invent the "War on Easter" (TM). They will threaten to boycott and sue back to the dark ages (a time near and dear to their shriveled atrophied hearts) any store that advertises using a cute slightly overweight bunny bearing pastel eggs, ignoring the true symbol of the season, the beaten to a pulp dying a gruesome death jew on a stick.

The foundation of morality is to . . . give up pretending to believe that for which there is no evidence, and repeating unintelligible propositions about things beyond the possibliities of knowledge.

You need Bush/Cheney to make Gore/Lieberman look good.




"I strongly believe in the separation of church and state. But freedom of religion does not mean freedom from religion, there is a better way."

1) A "major" star (active player) in one of the four largest men's sports (MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL) will come out of the closet.

2) Jerry Lewis will pass away.

3) Hollywood will suffer it's biggest box office slump in the last decade.

4) Tom DeLay will go to jail.

5) Tomkat will break up.

17. Rush Limbaugh will finally go to court on drug charges. He will be convicted, scolded, fined, and assiged community service. He will blame his misfortune on the liberal court system, fire Roy Black, and appeal with a different lawyer. Before the appeal can be heard, he will arrive by ambulance at a detox center in Miami, Flordia with a narcotic OD. Needle tracks will be discovered in the vicinity of veins on both of his feet. He will blame this on the liberal media and the dittoheads will picket PBS.

18. Bill O'Reilly will be photographed by a regular contributer to the National Enquirer in bed with Jeff Gannon, nee James Guckert, at a cheap motel in Nitro, West Virginia. On his following radio show, he will rail against the liberal media and demand, with some cause actually, that rags such as the NE be shut down.

19. Ann Coulter will erase all doubt that she is female when she forgets to put on panties for a TV interview. Investigations of rumors that she was causing a disturbance by lying stone drunk and flat on her back with her legs in the air squealing, "Oh god, don't stop now!" while alone in a cheap motel in Intercourse, Pennsylvania will prove inconclusive. She will blame both incidents on the liberal media.

20. Jerry Falwell will erase all doubt that he actually has a heart when he is admitted to a Lynchburg, Virginia hospital with an attack on it. He will blame it on the secular media.

(Emphasis mine)



Surely this should be "Relative linear constraints"?
I mean, otherwise it doesn't make any sense.

Valiant Dancer's predictions for 2006

1) The misguided and misplaced war on terrorism will still be waged in Iraq

2) The hidden prophet of the Shi'ites will reveal himself. The Shi'ites will denounce him as a false prophet.

3) Jesus will come back. The more hardline Christians will excommunicate him. No one will be surprised.

4) Dick Cheney will make ominous predictions of death and destruction if Democrats win. The Democrats will point out that under the watchful eyes of the Republicans, the Katrina relief effort was staged. Cheney and the rest of the Republican attack monkeys will blame Clinton for it.

5) Howard Dean will say something that will make all liberals cringe and wish he would STFU.

6) Phelps will die. A unified group of GBLT, military families, Swedes, and people against hate will turn out to see his funeral. Only to make sure the rat bastard is really dead.

7) Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, and Jesse Helms will recieve personalized messages from Jesus requesting that they stop using His name until they learn about how to love thy neighbor.

8) Ruth Bader Ginsburg will retire from SCOTUS due to the "adolescent" pranks pulled by Clarence Thomas, saying, "I'm far too old to be putting up with this shit."

9) FOX news will announce that they will no longer be using sources like UPI or AP for international news. Announce they will instead issue only press releases on the subject by Kay Bailey Hutchison and Randy the Wonder Llama.

10) Yet another 1-900 tele-psychic business will go belly up and cite "poor investments".

11) Tom Delay will be convicted. Republicans will shit a brick.

12) Democrats will gain control of Congress on the heels of Delay's conviction.

13) Republican Judy Barr Topinka will be elected to be governor of Illinois. (If I have anything to say about it. Blagoivich has been disappointing.)

14) Some fundie twit, during an arguement with me, will make a purile and stupid joke about my user name instead of addressing the main thrust of my post.

21. Miss Cleo will return to television, this time advertising the Q Ray bracelets. She will know whether you need one or not and all you have to do to find out is call her 900 number.

22. Area 51 will be infiltrated by a detachment of the secertive Roswell Vigilence Committe, a group dedicated to finding out the truth of the government's coverup of UFOs. That truth, however, will be buried so deeply that they will find nothing. They will completly ignore the fact that Elvis is working as a fry cook in the base cafeteria.

23. A pigeon will drop a warm, white & green blob on Dick Cheney's newly waxed head. The offending bird will be hunted down and shot regardless of it's being a thought-to-be-extinct passenger pigeon.

24. A new Red Dwarf series will be aired on BBC (oh please let this smegger be true!).

25. Sun Mung Moon will perform another Mass wedding. Neil Bush will be stuck with the tab for the reception.
