Well, hey, one of the original hoaxters of all time, I wonder if he got rich on his stuff?

With the internet, this guy could have cleaned up, you know?

Anyway, I went to

http://www.nostradamusonline.com/?gclid=CLjvgO773IwCFQkGhgod1Tl90A

and looked around a bit, I guess we are going to have WW III pretty quick and it will last until 2012.

This is based on interpretations by ‘Dr’ Michael Rathford.  I wonder where he got his doctorate?  Is there any way to find out?  Probably at University of Bible Dude or some such.

Oh, the local Ford dealer has a Ford GT on display, not to be confused with a Mustang GT, this is a Ferrari-like street-legal racecar.  If I truly thought Nostradamus was correct, I would re-finance my house and go buy the thing (It sells for about $ 150,000.00) and have a ball, using it to impress Bebe, mostly.

Dan, reporting on all the latest

This contradicts the tv-show I’ve seen a long time ago. In that show they claimed WW III was bound to start somewhere between 1994 and 1999 if I recall it correctly

I doubt it. As soon as there looked to be any sort of market for his quatrains there would be a flood of cheap alternatives (Nostradamus Quatrain Generator).

A great King taken by the hands of a young man
Three years and seven months passed, they will go to war
Through rain afterwards, which will do them much harm
When three brothers will be wounded and murdered

Very near the Tiber Death threatens
Will cause its realm to hold in peace and union
War captive halfway inside its enclosure
Drinking by force the waters poisoned by sulfur

Northern wind will cause the siege to be raised
One of them will hold the great Romania
They cause him to die because of his too great goodness and mildness
When the dead will come out of their graves

And my favourite

The great star will burn for seven days
Far and near they will transfer the Empire
The arid earth will grow more dry
Meanest assistance against their frontier

OMG! Global Warming is real! There’s going to be desertification and a mass exodus. The west will close their borders precipitating a humanitarian crisis! (Mecha-)Nostrodamus says so!
big surprise

Hey, beauty, David!

I have a book that lists all Nostradamus’s beloved quatrains in the original (French?), then a transaltion to English, then the interpretations.

Your work is damned good!

Of course, you knew that already, having read of its surety in a quatrain somewhere, I am sure

Dan, nevertheless impressed

Rik the Viking - 15 June 2007 02:51 AM

This contradicts the tv-show I’ve seen a long time ago. In that show they claimed WW III was bound to start somewhere between 1994 and 1999 if I recall it correctly

Rik, as a Viking, you of all people should know that often, the best weapon of attack is surprise.  The war started in about 1996.5, it is just that it was disquised, and we have not yet discovered it.

Dan, no ordinary fool he

Surprise attacks you say? Interesting smirk


So Mr Rathford (and possibly mr. september12th also!) is only trying to get the truth in the open?  Thats a praiseworthy cause that should receive fundings I’d say!

You are truly insiteful, Dear Rik; by the way, I think I should purchase a good helmet for protection during this coming carnage.  Know where I can buy a good Viking helmet?  In all the paintings, they look pretty sturdy.

Dan, wondering if ‘insiteful’ or ‘insightful’ is correct, but too damned lazy to look it up

Uh oh! Things are not looking to good for my (first-born) daughter’s school trip to the seaside tomorrow…

[quote author=“Nostrodamus Generator”]Through an object the eye will swell very much
Shall Heaven’s great Vicar, anxious to appease
To prepare for a journey torments the first offspring
Late and soon comes the awaited help

She’s going to get sand in her eye, get upset, and the deputy-head is going to have to sit with her (vicar means ‘deputy’ ). Not only that but tonight she’s going to be so excited she won’t sleep and will be all tired and cranky tomorrow (she’ll wake up both late and too soon)!

Oh thank you Mr. N!

Another one…

[quote author=“Nostrodamus Generator”]The year that the brothers of the lily come of age
Extreme horrors and vengeances
Two great rocks for a long time will make war
Drinking by force the waters poisoned by sulfur

Well, this is the year Lily Allen released Little Brother, and it was certainly extremely horrific. But where do I line up for the vengeance, and if I provide my own pool cue can I go all Sopranos with it?

Well, I asked Nostrodamus about whether or not nuclear war would start on September 12th, 2006.  And he said:

At forty-five degrees, the sky will burn
On land and sea, bringing trouble to the East
The Isle of Scotland will be tried by frost
Not far from the age of the great millennium

big surprise

Then I asked him how the nuclear war would affect those of us who don’t have sufficient stockpiles of molasses.

Not from Spain but from ancient France
Thus little by little will the great ones will be angered
Immediately a huge, scattered flame leaps up
The tin islands of St. George half sunk

My reading of this one:

Not from Spain but from ancient France

(the French are going to be more annoying than usual)

Thus little by little will the great ones will be angered

(and annoy the wrong people)

Immediately a huge, scattered flame leaps up

(because those annoyed people are a bunch of dragons, who are now angry)

The tin islands of St. George half sunk

(and take their revenge on St. George for his dragon-molesting ways)
