A look into my crystal ball: What I predict 2009 will for the world

1: A few countries will put sanctions on Israel. This will really annoy zionists, who will probably try to have sanctions put on every country that puts sanctions on Israel.
2: Someone will tell John Key the correct date for Chinese New Year. (nb: Chinese new year starts on Tuesday, but that didn't stop our prime minister breaking his arm at a Chinese new year party last night)
3: Petrol prices will go up again in spite of the depression which is currently keeping the price low.
4: Those people that want the singularity (I think they're called transhumanists) will get very excited about one of my projects and offer me funding.
5: The economic situation will get worse, in part because of measures people are taking to stop it getting worse.
6: There will be more anarchist communes.
7: The ice sheet over the arctic circle will disappear.
8: There will be a revolution in Zimbabwe. Many people on both sides will lose their lives.
