Let's play a little game...
Answers these questions, then let's all meet after these events occur and see who was right.
Let's start:
1) Who will win the SuperBowl in 2000? (Team Name and Score)
2) Will there be a major Y2K chaos ? (Yes/No)
3) Who will win the England's Premiere League next season (Team Name)
4) Who will win/play in the World Cup 2002 in Japan ? (Name 2 teams in the finals and the score)
5) Will Windows2000 crash on my system?
Any more predictions?
Now, let's just wait...

1. Denver Broncos 56 SF 49ers 10.
It's time for AFC domination!! I'm so sorry that Steve Young and Brett Favre are reduced to role of John Elway in his old Superbowl-losing Broncos.
2. Someone will commit suicide trying to get into heaven, but will instead go to hell alone.
3. Don't care.
4. Germany 1 Brazil 0
5. If will crash as often as Win98.

1) I'll go for Tampa Bay (I haven't got a clue. I mean, I know the names of all the teams, but I don't know anything about them.)
2) Probably. Or not.
3) M...Manc... Sorry! I really can't get myself to say that.
4) I hope somebody who haven't won it yet will take the Cup. Perhaps Spain or Holland. Realistically, though: Italy vs. Brazil in a 0-0 draw with Italy taking it on penalties. Gad, I hate shoot-outs!
5) You've answered this.

2) Only along the outer rim.
3) England? Oh, you mean on EARTH...

1)Bears beat the Colts 77-63. Hell will then freeze over.
2)Yes, because People are stupid and prone to panic. Lose power for a few minutes, and groups will start rioting. Plus, tech-dependant 15yr olds will commit suicide everywhere.
3)Chicago Fire?
4)USA over China in a shootout. Oh wait, that was the women's team.
5)Probably
Predictions,
1)In the year 2000, hamsters will continue to exist.
2)In the year 2000, I will be older than I am now.
3)There will be a cure for Cancer. The cure will kill everyone taking it, thus continuing a natural order of things.
4)Late Night with Conan O'Brien's 'In the yr 2000' predictions will be 99% false. That remaining 1% will be a creepy coincidence.
5)I will run out of things to type here.
4)
