2012 Prediction Thread

[PlutonianEmpire]

I asked for predictions, not facts.

How do YOU know they're actually facts instead of predictions?

You asked for predictions, I gave you one.

Since you consider them to actually be facts, that could only mean one thing.....



Got something to share, Mr. Elite Of The World?

Room on the ship?

No.

My hair will not only cease to further recede, but amazingly as predicted by the Mayans...grow back .

And Contre's camera will not arrive

 

[Nobody]

People are going to start saying the world will in in 2016, some old sumerian wrote it on a pig, there will be a big budget (but crap) movie about the end of the world in 2016

 

[Nobody]

Christchurch will get another huge earth quake

 

[Maniacal]

We get more quakes here in BC, and I don't feel or really notice any of them (like that 6.8 we had in September).

Also I think we're due for a new pope, partly because he bores me but almost entirely just because he is really old.

Valve will continue to troll people hoping for Episode 3 (they recently said they are going to announce a new game with a "3" in its title at next year's E3. However, not one of their games has made it past 2 so it could be almost anything except counter-strike.).

Ron Paul destroys all competition, abolished the Fed, the EPA, and brings back all the troops. Hilarity ensues.

 

[GoodGame]

And literally any other year, this would be the height of insanity, suggesting that the average public is interested in paleoastronomy. Only in 2012.

Just like computer architecture became interesting as Y2K approached!


Just like Taliban in the wake of 9/11.

There will be a pretty significant war beginning. Conan O'Brien will loose his freakishly long legs during a bombing while entertaining troops.

Don't you DARE butcher my Conan O'Brien!

I'm rooting for him to have a spot on one of the Arks!

 

[CELTICEMPIRE]

WWIII will begin!

 

[jtb1127]

Walter White is going to get arrested or shot.

The war on write-in ballot exclusions?

 

[_random_]

That may be the initial cause, but within a millennium or so it will be known simply as "The War of 2012."

My predictions:

Someone is elected President.

The economy marginally grows.

The Patriots win the Super Bowl.

I become a senior.

My webcomic transfers to its own site. (this had better happen.)

My hair grows back.

I get my hair cut due to the fact that it isn't growing in correctly.

My hair grows back.

The world doesn't end in December, but someone automatically points out the next major prediction and the countdowns begin.

Tensions in Europe will continue to mount. Nearing the end of the year, countries may begin mobilizing their armies.

Life goes on as normal. People celebrate in the Raves thread, people cry in the Rants thread, people debate atheism v. religion, people debate communism v. capitalism, people play Civ.

 

[JohannaK]

Economy will maintain its incredible rate of growth and everything will continue as it is now. Maybe some other Arab countries will fall and Obama will be elected against some extremist Republican candidate. Maybe North Korea will detonate WW3.

The Euro finally ends, the EU first splits in two and finally collapses. Some kind of other smaller "european communities" may be scrapped together afterwards.

^None of the above happens

Walter White is going to get arrested or shot.

Or both.

 

[Integral]

YoY inflation for 2012: 1.5% <= infl <=2.5%
YoY output growth for 2012: <=2.5%
NGDP growth for 2012: <=4%
UNRATE in December 2012: 7.5 <= U3 <= 8.5

Nothing too fantastic.

The earth will rapidly approach 2013, on it's way to oblivion. Again, there will not be enough time in a day, and little progress will be made.
