Predictions In A Week

[Turtle]

___Ha ha! Strange Claims indeed! Ha ha!

Let's test our predictive abilities by making a prediction for the next week that is both not complete nonsense & verifiable when time has run out. I'll go first with a sample; any topic will do.

Prediction: Within 1 week Yellowstone will have a 4.5 or higher quake either in or near the caldera.

Now we casually keep score & point out the non-scientific statistics with significant deviations.

That doesn't meet the verification standard I have in mind; the group must agree objectively that a prediction is met. News reports, pictures, data etc. to support a correct prediction.. In balance to that, we don't want trivial predictions like "the sun will rise" & so forth.This is a strange claim, but it's a scientific strange claim if we make it that way.

Only if the United Nations agree to pay me one trillion dollars!

Else, my lunar-based kryptonite-powered ultra-high energy gamma laser array will be set off to obliterate the world! Mwhahahahaha....

The future of the world is in your hands, ladies and germs, and the clock is ticking...

___Uhhh...no. Not that it's not a prediction, but it violates the stated restriction in post #2: "In balance to that, we don't want trivial predictions like "the sun will rise" & so forth"

There will be a Sasquatch sighting to add energy to the impending expidition.

My Hypography rep will hit 30.

My husband rep will still hover near zero. (I am riding out the storm, no apologies for ignorance this year!)

I predict BluesMan will get caught cheating.
Oh wait that already happened..... postcognition.

Ok, I predict an earthquake on the pacific coast within the next 7 days.

[BluesMan]

Oh, and > than a 4.5 since there are small earthquakes all the time.
