Just a reminder 2016 still has nearly 7 weeks to grind out, so what are your prediction for sad, surprising, mad or positively good things that could occur in these remaining 47 days.

Be it political, economic, military, natural or personal events, please have stab, though hopefully not literally so.

And as we've collectively shown ourselves so good at predicting events, what could possibly go wrong?


Personally I'm hoping no more music legends die or for that matter there are any political assassinations.
