Sitcom:
Bigfoot and Cryptids - similar to past and current situation comedies on television, only that Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, other cryptids debate the existence of humans, skeptics and currently known plant and animal life. It a combination of a sitcom and PBS.

Porsches on the Autobahn - A local Boston band who pretend to be angry German ninjas while playing instruments poorly. You never know who might make it big in 2007, though.

The 2007 Great World War against Wikiism. A war will be declared on July 7, 2007 at 7 AM against the wikiist regime of wikiism, when the 1,998,767th article is created. Finally, seven minutes, later this article is created, being the two millionth.--

Terrorist attacks of May 9, 2007 Perhaps inappropriate because I really don't want there to be any terrorist attacks on that date or any other date. However, since there's a pattern of odd days and odd months (9/11 in America, 3/11 in Spain, 7/7 in London) for terrorist attacks, this is as good a prediction as any other. Of course, if there actually is a terrorist attack on that day, I'll be in deep doo doo with the authorities. :)

Alien as US President - Weekly World News's alien, instead of backing human canidates, it runs for the US President's Office - and gets it.

Sorry, that wouldn't count as an encyclopedia article. We already have over four million pages, so that couldn't be the two millionth page either.

Well actually none of these could - only pages in the main namespace count. --

Media Coverage of Wikipedia's two-millionth topic, when the time nears, someone jumps the gun and creates the topic about the two-millionth topic early, leading to the two-millionth topic to be the two-millionth topic. The media coverage covered in the topic eventually ends up being about the topic itself. My head hurts.--
