Years ago I was renovating an old building and came across a box of Popular Mechanics from the 1940’s-60’s. They were full of articles about the great future in store for everyone. Computers would run everything in the futuristic 70’s and by the unimaginable year 2000 people would be living in cities under the sea. Curiously a “top scientist” predicted the first moon landing wouldn’t be until around 2013. Probes would need to be sent first etc. He didn’t count on Kennedy and the cold war. They didn’t count on environmental snags either. Everything was a nuclear powered disposable wonderland, plastic and asbestos were our friends . There was no internet but you could send a letter by ballistic rocket post which launched the mail in an arc through space and had it half way around the world in 90 minutes. The mail sack was jettisoned over the destination and the rocket …sort of went…away and the mail parachuted down to be collected by the local postal service and distributed to the recipients. Yes what a rosy old time we were going to have…twenty channels on the TV, some of them in colour with smell-o-vision and all this was going to be ours by the year 2000. Yeah, well here are my own few predictions for the future...
In The Future:
-Women will gain the ability to make themselves understood
-Men will say “Ohhh! I see now.”
-The sun will explode.
I’m just not sure in what order.

But who will be the intrepid pioneer that will teach us to speak Man?
Oh, speaking is not a problem...whole big bunch o' speaking going on. It's the not-making-sense part that needs work.
It is my understanding that men are just stupid, it must be true because I have heard it more than once.
This predicting the future thing would make a good blog!!
