I trust we have all heard of notradamus. Well for the benifit of those who havent, he was a famous man of long ago who predicted things that would happen a long time in the future. He was most famous for predicting when the world would end.
However many claimed his predictions were to vague to have any truth in them. He was said to have predicted the rein of Hitler. His prediction was, 'Hisler will overflow it's banks in to Germany'. Beleivers claimed that this was Hitler coming from Austria to Germany. Doubters said that a river with a similar name bordering Germany often flowed it's banks.
He was also said to have predicted the attack on the twin towers 9/11.
He said,'The two brothers will come under attack from the sky' He predicted this for 9/11.
So was his predictions proper or were they all just a fake?

Without going into all the various intellectual arguments, which would cause my brain to melt tonight. I'd go with no, I can't be sure that it didn't end.
And if it did end that night, or another night since, then the ended world is a lot stranger than the one that existed. Or something like that (ooh I've gone cross-eyed thinking about it).
But then I suppose everything changes, or in the words of a famous person...
"Everything changes but you..."
Deep words :)

Only what I read in a series of newspaper articles a few years back, didn't they find Bill Clintons name in it.

It's a bit like star-signs - too vague by far and could relate to anything if you think about it. If you're into your star signs, next time pretend you're another sign, read that horoscope, and be amazed at how accurate it is - even though you weren't born then.
Amazing!
Amazing!

Can you be sure that the world didn't end?

Can you be sure that the world didn't end?
thing is most of his predictions are general and can be explained for tons of reasons,
eg
if i predicted in 1998 that in the early next millenium
a reign of death will come from the far east, and will attack people the world over
then people will say i've either predicted SARS or al-Qaeda, or if in the next 10 or so years in russia or china go to war over nuclear programmes ive predicted that to.
because i use general words like 'early' which people can be taken as any length of time, or 'east' which we consider anything outside of europe which as we know the US wont attack us then it covers pretty uch the rest of the globe,
now the bible code is more interesting and is far more accurate than nostradamus. anyone here know about the bible code?

He predicted the world to end on several different occasions. SEVERAL!? It can only end once. Yup.

I remember that, or something similar...
Back in 1999 same day as my 6th form summer ball, the world was supposed to end by 12 midnight (which it didn't).
Hmm I think I used that in something I wrote a while ago.
The way I see it is that some people have interpreted what he wrote to suit things that have happened, and since so many of them have different interpretations on what his future predictions are then a least one of them is bound to resemble something that has happened recently, the fact that the other interpretations may not have foreseen this is swept under the carpet.
I remember looking at a book listing out some stuff which was 'supposed' happen according to one persons interpretations and none of the things that were said to happen in the past few years happened.
