Mulally will be leaving Ford to run Facebook.

Are those serious predictions or just someone poking fun?

Nope, but quite often these predictions have some basis in fact. Will he leave this year since he has done quite a good job at Ford, there would be many companies that would like to get him. When is his contract up?

Edit - Just verified, his contract ends in 2011.

Apparently you need to work on your reading comprehension skills. Did you actually read any of them besides the Ford related remark? Wow.

No because Ford is the only one I would care about. Even if it isn't Facebook, it could be any company.

Is this one possible, definitely. Gas prices soar to $4 per gallon.

And as his contract expires this year it is quite possible Mulally will be gone.

That article looks like something from the Onion.

The one about gas prices also mentions American Motors will re-introduce the Nash Metropolitan.

Your satire detection meter is clearly broken.

Agreed that the result might be crazy, but not necessarily the prediction. The way gas prices are going right now, I wouldn't be surprised if we see $4.00 before summer. I am already paying $3.16.

I LOL'd at the part where Justin Bieber will be the new spokesman for Buick.

I'm glad someone can pick up on the satire.

Good job!
