'bout time for a new contest, I'd say, so here we go! Let's have your predictions of things that will happen in 2006.

What kind of predictions am I looking for? Well, take a look at any of the tabloid newspapers at the supermarket, that will kinda set the tone. I'm looking for predictions of things that would be a surprise if they actually happened, but COULD occur.

Predictions of things that can already be expected to occur don't count. For example, predicting that "it's going to be hot in Death Valley next Summer" doesn't cut it, but predicting "a foot of snow in Phoenix on the 4th. of July", and then having it happen, would be a hard one to beat!

Predicting that "Saddam gets convicted" doesn't make the grade, but predicting that "Saddam gets acquitted, then opens a day-care in San Francisco", anyhow, I think you get the idea.

Alien landings, world records, scientific developments, politics, supernatural stuff, it's wide open.

Let your imagination, sense of humor, and creativity be your guide. Remember that the predictions, if they come true, must in some way be verifiable.

You can either email your predictions to

or leave them in the comments below for this post.

I'll do a follow up post listing the best ones in a week or so, and at the end of the year we'll bring them back out and see how well you did at predicting the future!

Get out your crystal balls!!
