No, no, no. You had right until the part about Iran nuking Pakistan.
Iran will nuke Israel, Iraq and India in that order. Israel will nuke
most countries around it, including Italy, just for good measure. Japan
has no nuclear arms, but have a ready supply of giant monsters and
killer robots that they will unleash from monster island. They will
unleash these on most of Asia and Austalia for the reasons previously
mentioned. The stock market will crash upon hitting the 10K mark as you
predicted, driven by rumous that Dalmer-Benz will buy both Crysler and
netscape. Redmond will still be destoryed, but not by a nuke sent by
McNealy. While McNealy is haggling with his air force buddy, Redmond
will be destroyed by a failed first-strike by Gates utilizing ICBM silos
beneath his island and the Microsoft corporate offices. The NT computer
controlling the launch will BSOD and set off the nukes pre-launch.
Pamela Anderson will move in with Tracy Lords and Tommy will go into the
porn busines instead.
