"Nostradamus"

A friend just sent me this - a prophecy/prediction made by Nostradamus in 1654.

With the events of yesterday fresh in our minds, I'll leave you to ponder whether there's anything in it or not...

"In the City of God there will be a great thunder, Two brothers torn apart by Chaos, while the fortress endures, the great leader will succumb. The third big war will begin when the big city is burning"

The point is that his predictions never really contained any specific facts or anything that could be tied down to one particular event. Due to the nature of the ancient language and the way in which he wrote the messages, they all got translated in so many ways that they could have applied to virtually anything from a man on the moon to Kermit the Frog appearing on TV.

Robert Nixon.

Here are two if his unfulfilled predictions:

"Foreign nations shall invade England with snow on their helms.... The bear that had been long tied to a stake shall shake off his chains and cause much debate"

(doesn't sound very likely... or relevant, yet)

"For though the world be at peace - and with peace at night the nations ring - men shall rise to war in the morning"

(A little closer, but... to vague to impress me - though the idea of the world being at peace wouldv'e been very far fetched back then)

See my post in life...this wasn't a real prophecy..

Gulp. I think my heart just skipped a beat. I am begginning to get scared now.

Nostradamus got quite a few of his predictions correct, and this one seems to fit quite well.

He's not the only person to correctly predict things however - there is some guy I can't recall the name of, in medieval times. He predicted many things - even the absurd notion that he would starve to death at the kings castle.

One of his predictions included something about a war. I think I'll go look it up a second....

I am so pleased to hear that!

Nostradamus was also an alchemist. Back in the 17th century, health and safety at work was not a great issue, and in his chemical experiments Nostradamus was regularly exposed to noxious fumes and chemicals, particularly when he turned his hands to alchemy.

Therefore he was prone to visions. His unofficial predictions included socks taking over the world, the 'bees can't fly' hypothesis, and that rocks were actually reincarnated aliens from Neptune.

He was the post-medieval equivalent of Neil from The Young Ones.

Nostradamous said that the world would end a year or two back.

He also mentioned a river "hister" when talking about a war.

People saw it and said "ARGH! Hitler!"

He had a few interesting ideas but nothing serious.

Well Sadam is probably dead though. As for Nostradamus he was just saying anything, it makes sense that a war will start when two powers are at odds and one makes an attack on a city of another. As it happens these attacks are being put down to terrorists rather than a government. I suspect that there must have been some insiders, perhaps even the pilots involved though. Of course I wouldn't rule out anyone, large powers like Japan aren't exactly the best of friends with America. Still, it's rumours like that that cause problems so I doubt everything rather than suspect them all.

My prediction is that when eggs and oil collide in a frying pan on a hob frying may occur.

hmm i see what you mean now. sorry about that.


But there seems to be nobody thinking that it might be sudam husane he's someone else that has the power to perform this "cowardly act" as the attack is described by George.W.Bush,
i think husane is perfectly capable thisattack
