Jim and Tim, the Duct Tape Guys let loose their psychic abilities
and make these predictions about life in the 21st century:

In the twenty-first century, unlike movies depicting the future, people will not be forced to wear identical one-piece metallic jump suits.

In the twenty-first century, the population explodes and humans take up even more space. Agriculture is saved and pollution reduced by an innovative idea: crops are grown from strips of duct tape adhered to the sides of skyscrapers, adding more plant life to urban settings and subsequently reducing greenhouse gasses and thereby repairing the hole in the ozone layer.

In the twenty-first century, duct tape becomes the official currency of the United States of Duct Tape (renamed in 2016 by newly elected co-presidents Jim and Tim, the Duct Tape Guys).

In the twenty-first century, Dick Clark is forced testify about an alleged “fountain of youth” formula that has prevented him from aging since the late 1950s. In court, his secret is revealed: duct tape face lifts.
