Predictions for the New year - 2008

I figure that I am no better or no worse for predicting the future than anyone else so here are my predictions for 2008 in no particular order:

• Someone named Earl will cause a scandal in the White House
• The Eiffel Tower will be condemned for major rust found in it's support beams
• HP will come out with a new product that will replace some home furniture
• Hillary Clinton will slip on an icy sidewalk and do the splits. She will end up in the hospital with a hyper extended leg.
• A major city on the east coast will suffer from a wide spread fire that started from a gasoline station explosion
• The island of Tasmania will have wide spread flooding
• Hawaii will have a major earthquake and tsunami warning
• A new discovery of oil will be found in North Australia
• A new strain off flu will kill thousands, it comes from South America

Let's see if any of them happen.
