Congrats again Don...you did it again! Hey...maybe that stomach is on to something....

I predict that within say 6 - 12 months a significant new theory about earthquakes will emerge. This theory will describe in detail exactly what an earthquake is, how it works, and the extent to which thay can be predicted.

In addition it will also explain in gory detail a long list of earthquake related phenomena including both pre/post-cursors and fine detail of the actual earthquake on a tic by tic basis.

In addition, a drawing which shows the "picture of an earthquake" will be shown. Interestingly enough...this picture will have been drawn by a person working in another field of science who doesn't have a clue as to what he has actually drawn with regards to earthquakes.

Just thought I would spice things up a little with a tantalizing prediction...what with the summer doldrums and all....
