The Most Stunning, Funny and Ridiculous Predictions for 2009

Just for fun, I was googling the web looking for any kind of predictions for the starting year. Surfing among economists, columnists, psychics,astrologists and humorists, here are the most impressive to me:

  • Someone is going to try to murder Barack Obama.

This is affirmed by Craig and Jame Hamilton Parker, two British Psychics who published their predictions in the celebrity magazine “Hello”. They say they just can “see” that coming.

  • “The overarching political issue of 2009 will be the economy”.

Wow. Never heard that before, did you? This was said by Jeffrey Toobin, senior analyst, in CNN. I’m far from an expert in World Economy but I bet anyone know that this is going to be one of the main worries around the globe this year.

  • “Days off through illnesses will increase, as will crime and church attendance”

English author David Aaronovitch is not very optimistic about the future in a Times newspaper article. He’s publishing an almost apocalyptic book with his ideas in May.

  • Britney Spears is going to gain weight again and probably reconciliate with her ex Kevin Federline.

This is what New York Psychic Dobbs Ferry can anticipate, in case you can’t sleep wondering what about the poor Britney.

  • The government of Mexico will build an electrified fence along its border with the US to avoid illegal American immigrants trying to escape from the financial crisis.

Obviously a joke, this is my favorite prediction and belongs to the columnist Andrew Heller from The Flint Journal.

I’m kind of overwhelmed with all this prophetic information, so I better try to enjoy the present. After all, it’s all I have for sure.

    My favorite prediction for 2009 is that the world is not going to end this year. That means I’ve got another 12 months to dink around. Good information to know.

    Thanks everyone for the comments.
    Ruby, as you can see, I didn’t take these predictions very seriously, although they come from different quality of sources.
