I don't know how many of you actually read anything from about.com but I get their Paranormal newsletter a couple of times a week. Every year they have people e-mail them predictions for the coming year (ya know, major happenings) and at the end of the year they review them and decide who was right and who was wrong...the predictions for 2006 were way off for the most part but the previous year(s) were pretty accurate. Here are the ones they have posted for 2007.

Hugs!

Predictions for 2007
From Stephen Wagner,

What readers foresee happening this year
THE READERS have spoken, and they have declared their predictions for 2007. These include what they see occurring in world events, US events, the fields of science and technology and miscellaneous topics.

Events both hopeful and catastrophic are foreseen, including an end to the war in Iraq, but new terrorist attacks; cures for diseases, but new plagues. In paranormal areas, they predict the capture of a live Bigfoot, UFO sightings and revelations, a Mothman reappearance, and ESP breakthroughs.

Quirkier predictions include self-washing cars and the popularity of skirts for men.

Here are the highlights:
