Slightly Different’s 2012 World Predictions

January 1, 2012 – 4:15 pm

As this year is predicted by many to be a year of change, I thought I’d throw some more fuel on the fire and make some of my own predictions as to what I think will happen this year. Hopefully, I won’t precipitate a Conspiracy Theory situation where masked agents abseil through my windows if [...]

July 6, 2011 – 11:06 am
