As is Sillytech tradition, it's time to place your best guess on the outcome of Canada's election on Monday, May 2. There are 308 seats. The person who has the smallest seat differential for each party "wins":
Conservative:
NDP:
Liberal:
Bloc:
Green/Independent:

We've predicted Canada and the US; why not someplace where only some of us have any idea what goes on?
The British House of Commons has 650 seats (529 in England, 40 in Wales, 59 in Scotland and 18 in Northern Ireland). There are many minor parties that can win a few seats with less than 2% of the vote. The categories for this contest will simply be "Conservatives", "Labour", "Liberal Democrats", and "Other". (If you want to specify the "Other", you are welcome to, but it won't count in who has the best prediction). |

NASA is paying people to not move (well, as little as possible) for 90 days in a controlled environment so they can study the effect of long-term immobilization on the human body.
One of them is blogging the experience. |

Super Tuesday calls?
As a Bay Stater I'm going to say MA will go Romney and Obama. Overall Obama will finish with more delegates than Hillary but not enough to secure the nomination. McCain will beat out Romney, with Huckabee finishing a respectable but hopeless third. |

I do not want to wager about next week's Super Tuesday outcome (anything is possible), but I can predict the Superbowl results.
The Giants will win.
And I will eat one pig-in-a-blanket* for each point scored.
