(Last week, we brought together a distinguished panel of psychics and asked them for their predictions for the coming year.)
Kandu (India): "A rotary-wing aircraft will make its debut, revolutionizing human transportation as we know it."
Madame Blavinsky (Switzerland): "You mean like the helicopter? Please. The real surprise in 2007 will be when Kim Jong Il declares he's got nuclear weapons."
Cassandra (Canada): "He already has. Many times. In any case, I'm predicting a breakthrough announcement heralding a second Internet, much faster than the one we're using now, and it's on its way."
The Oracle (Delphi): "Earth to Cassandra: it already exists. For a real prediction, the lowly Charlotte Hornets will win the NBA title and shock the world."
Deep Fritz (computer): "Particularly the people of Charlotte, who the team abandoned in 2003. I predict humans will no longer be called upon to make predictions, given their limited intelligence, and computers will take over most tasks involving complex thought."
