Next year will bring baby news for the Obamas, a helicopter crash for a British prince and death in a cave for Osama Bin Laden, according to the 2010 Old Moore's Almanac,which will arrive in the shops next week.
It says Michelle Obama will have morning sickness in July and a British prince may not survive a helicopter crash in June.
"If he does make it, it will be a "just scraped through" scenario, it says. Other predictions include Eamon Ryan taking over the Green Party and possibly becoming taoiseach some day, the return of the Irish Crown Jewels and, most unbelievably of all, a good summer.
Old Moore'seditor Nicole Buckler Kelly said some of the predictions may be wild, but the almanac correctly predicted that Mr Obama would be president and that Hillary Clinton would be in the public eye, but not for what she originally intended.
"Old Moore also predicted both winners of the All-Ireland final in 2009, something that should not be scoffed at," she said.
Next year's edition predicts victory for Cork in the 2010 football final and for Kilkenny in the hurling final. It says Spain will win the World Cup, Tiger Woods will take the Masters and Kauto Star will win the Cheltenham Gold Cup.
Old Moore's Almanachas been published for nearly two-and-a-half centuries. Its founder, Theophilus Moore, ran a classical academy at Milltown in Dublin and published the first Old Moore's Almanacin 1764.
It includes details such as moon phases, tide times, horse racing fixtures and mart and fair day information.
