Brining this topic back to RAT:
In the Good Old Daize when the NBC Blue Network
had Ted Koppel as the host of Nightline (and when
it was a real news program), every year, sometime
in mid December, he'd have a bunch of the Talking
Heads on making their predictions.
And then (you're getting ahead of me now..),
they'd have a commercial break and... he'd
replay their similar prediction that they
made a year earlier.
And they'd all have a good laugh...
The People's Almanac Presents Book of Predictions from 1980
is also good for a laugh. What good are predictions if there's
nothing funny about them?
Looking Forward by Arthur Bird, written in 1899 about the
future in 1999, has some funny stuff in it, like the future way
of preventing rabies outbreaks in dogs: extract teeth from all
dogs and fit them with dentures; when summer comes around,
remove the teeth and switch the dogs to a vegetable diet.
