Serious and silly predictions. think there was a similar thread but couldn't find it.

4. Average home price will be down 15% in 1st half and will be stagnate until early 2009

6. The writer's strike will continue until early February and US networks will import UK shows to fill the gap.
7. There will be 2 major hurricanes that will hit land in the US.

Silly

4. Global Internet crashes after succesful attack by Blaxxor Worm.

5. Scientests announce a distant comet is on a collision course with Earth slated for impact 2135.

Ok, I had to calm down for a while before I could respond. I second Dave's comment - 3 is the only logical way for her campaign to play out.

7 was too disturbing for words - and I don't even watch Letterman

9 I like the sentiment but no amount of triple A can take down pie in the sky.

10 try to keep this quiet, but that $400 dollar hair cut that Edwards got was to prep him for a brain transplant with Cheney.

Do you know how awesome it would be if I could watch Doctor Who here?!


Check out binsearch.info to search usenet for your favorites. It will create an nzb file that you can slurp up into the the Newsbin newsreader. Of course you should not download media that is copy protected, licensed, etc. On the other hand, you can't really be sure what you're downloading until you've actually downloaded it.

There are lots of british shows I've seen posted in recent months - The bill, Taggart, Silent Witness, Prime Suspect, Ghost Squad (Cassidy is a real cutie), Hotel Babylon, Benidorm, Jekyll, Murphy's Law, Waking the Dead, etc., etc.
