Ten Improbable News Headlines of 2015

So this guy comes up to me and says he has a little something for the blog. He shows me a list of headlines that will make the news in 2015. I take a quick look at it and say no way, this is utterly preposterous. No one can know what's going to happen next year, but even so, these headlines are outlandish, farfetched, hugely improbable. And why are so many of them about blogging? Still, the guy just stepped out of a DeLorean, so maybe he knows something. I'm not vouching for any of this, but if even one headline here should turn out to be true in 2015, who am I to keep it from my readers?

Here, then, are the ten headlines you are not likely to see in 2015:
