Did Nostro actually say this?
I can't belive it.
Anyway somebody else posted this in the planecrash thread.

I thought all of the people who believed that stuff hitched a ride on the Hale-Bopp Comet.



Can anyone confirm this was published before the crash??? ie..name of book...page#...date published.

Date published? Try a couple of hundred years ago. However his prophecies were written in riddles so he wouldn't be accused of witchcraft. Therefore they are open up to intrepretation.

I mean in a book you can buy today.

I had heard from someone who was "into" his stuff say they didnt recognize that one.

Proof that it existed before the attacks and that someone didnt just make it up.
Really spooky if it did.

Hmmm, see my comment in "Please Read".

Speaking of Hale Bop, wasn't that the previous major *so called* prophecy from Nostradamus that fell short ... *ahem* sorry ... I mean turned out to be predicting a future event?

Gwalchmai posted in another thread that he has a copy of the book that he's owned for many years, and he could not find this passage in his copy.

(I'll try to find it.)

It's very possible this quote from Nostradamus is just a hoax, many people seem to love conspiracy theories, profeties, etc.

I was once told to believe none of what you read and half of what you see.

I've heard that one a while back (Taking a philosphy course) It hasn't been published recently, I don't think, and I was reading a pretty old book (Published aroun 1903) So, I don't think that is a hoax.

I've looked further into the Nostradamus business, and the passage that had been circulated at internet the last two days, is actually a composite and several different parts of the original poem. Some passages also seem to have been altered to fit the occation.

Please, don't let yourself be worried because of Nostradamus.

How the text was altered to fit the attack on the US

Thanks, CE. I had just found this link as well and was about to post it! These Nostradamus hoaxes always run rampant during such events.

Little did you know, but I'm a bit of a prognosticator myself. Here's my vision:

We'll be Okay.

As soon as something awful happens in the world, those Nostradamus profecies start circulating. It's a pity, since it mostly worries people even more

I agree, Gwally, I think, I'm convinced you will be ok

Let's make up Nostradamus prophecies!!

The day the false of the hill is removed
The great queen will jail the children

Translation:

The day we yank her wig off,
The teacher will give us detention.
