It’s that time of the year again when I solicit the predictions of the Covering the Corner staff and lay them out for all to see.
I don’t know how it happens, but somehow we are always one hundred percent correct. Something about time dilation and string theory or something, I’m sure. Don’t bother looking up old predictions, because they are also all true. Just like these ones will be.
Enjoy.
