Calling Edgar Cayce...

The guy who sits next to me at work is a real history buff, and puts up a dozen or so "On this day..." type bits every day for everyone's education and entertainment. I'm going to start putting up "History of the future" in the same vein, just cause I think it'd be fun, but I'm going to need to come up with a LOT of stuff if I want to keep it going.

So, just for shits and giggles, throw the History of the Future at me. "August 8th, 2010: Nessie comes out of the loch, demanding her share of the tourist profits." "Time capsule from 1910 is opened, reveals mummified fairies who were apparently trapped while trying to steal the contents." "Starlet sets new record for high altitude childbirth, delivering in the middle of a skydive with the help of a specialized team of midwives."

I'm sure folks can do much better than that. Anything you like, silly or serious. It doesn't have to be consistent with anyone else's idea of things, doesn't even have to be worksafe if you want to have fun with it (I'll just edit things around to fit what I need, but you all go nuts!) I WOULD like to not tie in with current politics in any button pushing or agenda pushing fashion, but otherwise.... whatcha got?

One would assume you're laughing at the first one? :)

(Frankly, I'm of the opinion that the first one is most likely of all of them to actually happen. If I'm very lucky, I'll be one of those lucky so-and-so's with Pan Am tickets. And hell yes I'm going first class. :)
