1. President-elect Trump (The Simpsons)

The seventeenth episode of the eleventh season of the Simpsons mentioned that Donald Trump had become president in the future. The episode first aired March, 19 2000, and now in present times, it seems that Trump will be our president in the coming year.

2. 9/11 (Johnny Bravo, The Simpsons and Asi Sufre Latino America)

9/11 was a very horrible incident, there are tons of conspiracy theories about the disaster, but people become even more suspicious when they see all of the references to before it even happened.

"Chain Gang Johnny" aired April 27, 2001 only months before the 9/11 attack. In the background you see a poster of a burning tower captured, "coming soon."

The Simpsons episode, "To Surveil with Love" aired May 2, 1997. Bart is looking at a magazine about New Work with the dollar sign by a big 9 with two towers beside it. The graphic creates 9/11.

This book was written in 1983. The cover features a picture of the twin towers on flames with people falling out of the tower.

3. Libyan Dictator Gaddafi 2011 death (Second Chance)

Second Chance's first episode was set in purgatory, July 29, 2011. During the episode Dictator Gaddafi appears in purgatory after dying. Gaddafi died in real life in October 2011, only months from the predicted date. Second Chance aired in the 80's.

4. Nicki Manaj Cousin death (We Miss You - Nicki Manaj)

Nicki Manaj's song We Miss You was written a year before her cousin's death. In the song she sings about someone leaving in July and asks why the doctors couldn't stop their bleeding. Her cousin died July of the following year after being shot and and left to bleed to death.

5. The Internet (Mark Twain)

"Day by day, and night by night, he called up one corner of the globe after another, and looked upon its life, and studied its strange sights, and spoke with its people, and realized that by grace of this marvelous instrument he was almost as free as the birds of the air, although a prisoner under locks and bars. He seldom spoke, and I never interrupted him when he was absorbed in this amusement," said Mark Twain in an the London Times in 1904. It sounds very much like the internet.

6. The Year of 1998 (Americathon)

Americathon came out in 1979. The movie predicted that in 1998 the U.S would be depleted of all oil, Nike would become a huge brand, the USSR would collapse, China would become powerful and reality television would go out of control.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
