 It's the 20's Again!  And,  2020 Is A Leap Year!!
Hilarious Predictions About The Year 2020 
Decades ago there were some interesting predictions about what the twenty-first century and the year 2020 would be like.  If you are a 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, or even 60s baby you might remember some of these.  
  • Human feet will become just one big toe
  • All roads will become tubes
  • Everyone will own a personal helicopter coupe
  • People will live in flying houses
  • C, X, and Q will not be part of the alphabet
  • Telepathy and teleportation will become possible by the year 2020
