My error, so sorry. So, please replace those names with these 2:

My pick is (c) (he played the Professor on Gilligan's Island)

My apologies, I really need to research these things more closely.

Oops. I had a slight inkling that Victor Mature might have died, but it didn't coalesce into a thought..

ok, I'll pick Russell Johnson, whom I'm not familiar with. Appalling as it may seem, I never watched Gilligan's Island.

I'll go with Russell Johnson...unless you'd like to throw in Alan Hale...oh wait, he's gone too. Strange, how I didn't catch the Victor Mature matter.


On a more positive note I see Magenta will be the color for the year Very Happy .

Re: A2K Predictions for 2007
Hello! I'm gonna try this, tho I'm afraid I cant answer half of em..

-------------------

1) In 2007, the US will next go to war with
(a) Iran
(b) North Korea
(c) Nobody, it'll be same old, same old with what we currently are doing
(d) Afghanistan

PS: Isnt the US still at war in Afghanistan? Arent there American soldiers still fighting in the NATO mission there? Attacks and casualties are up there too, btw, I think last year was the most violent year since the time the US initially went in there.

**

2) We'll see the obituary for
(a) Donald Rumsfeld
(b) Eva Marie Saint
(c) Victore Mature
(d) Anthony Quinn

Dont know persons b,c and d, so I'll leave this one open... I dont think Rumsfeld will die.

**

3) Hilary Clinton will
(a) get buddy buddy with Nancy Pelosi
(b) learn to sky dive
(c) appear on Oprah
(d) start using her maiden name officially (this does not necessarily mean a divorce is imminent)

**

4) This couple will head to divorce court
(a) Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes
(b) Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones
(c) Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban
(d) Madonna and Guy Ritchie

OK, at least I know the names here, but I dont know **** about these marriages!

Perhaps (a)? They seem like a freakshow anyway, should unravel sooner or later..

**

5) The FDA will announce
(a) white wine helps to lower cholesterol
(b) regular dental care prevents heart disease
(c) Viagra will be available over the counter
(d) Decongestants will no longer be available without a prescription

No idea.

**

6) The following person will open up an exploratory committee for possibly running for President in '08
(a) Joe Lieberman
(b) Hilary Clinton
(c) Condoleeza Rice
(d) John Ashcroft

That one's easy ;-)

**

7) The winners of the World Series will be
(a) The St. Louis Cardinals (they won in 2006)
(b) The New York Yankees
(c) The Boston Red Sox
(d) The Houston Astros

Dont know anything about the World Series. (Isnt it funny its called the World Series, when almost noone outside the US watches it?)

**

8) The next major astronomical discovery will be
(a) a new planet in our solar system, beyond Sedna
(b) A supernova in a nearby star
(c) An asteroid headed on a trajectory bringing it uncomfortably close to the earth
(d) the discovery of what dark matter really is

I dont know anything about these matters, but Ive read stuff about (c) already, so that should be a slam-dunk. Depending on definition of "uncomfortably".

**

9) The hottest electronic device/toy will be
(a) Bratz dolls
(b) an American Idol game
(c) Hot Wheels 2007 (a return to a classic toy)
(d) wireless tech that can be used on an airplane (expect an investigation if someone is found using one of these right before a crash)

No idea. Bratz dolls are already selling like hotcakes right? So, like, an electronic version of it? Perhaps one that comes with a little cameraphone (s)he can use to take pics of his/her little Bratz friends? Smile

**

10) The hottest fashion item will be
(a) Bright magenta tops
(b) Tailored jeans
(c) Bubble skirts for work
(d) Very low-cut dresses

Hmm.. looking around me I'm still going for (e) the skirt + high boots thing. And not just out of personal preference Cool

Mind you, the Budapest streets are probably not the best place to scout for new global trends.. ;-)

9) The hottest electronic device/toy will be

(a) portable satellite radio somewhat correct answer; it exists but isn't the big seller
(b) an iPod which also takes pictures
(c) a phone that can be programmed with credit card numbers and used for purchases, thereby allowing the user to leave a wallet or purse at home (expect these to be stolen a lot)
(d) A hand-held DVD recorder for home movies

correct answer is probably Wii or PlayStation3

Well, just a few days late for 2006, but here's item (b), after all:

Apple proclaims its revolution: a camera, an iPod ... oh, and a phone
