Vanity: Something I saw recently on The History Channel alarmed me...

I have red that “Hister” was the old name of the Danube River.

James Randi on Nostradamus.

I can’t imagine that two seconds is even spent on this decomposing poet’s words. Incredible!

Next, Nostra "saw" the name MABUS

I saw that once...

True, but why on earth would a ‘reputable’ cable network like The History Channel devote an hour to this man??

Same reason that discovery covers UFOs and other paranormal events.

I don't find these channels to be "reputable" or fact based.

And there seems to be a lot of hyperbole in biographical presentations (even on PBS). IF IT WASN'T FOR THIS ONE PERSON, yadda yadda yadda.

I've seen reports on Galileo that totally ignored Copernicus but included numerous attacks on organized religion.

Speaking of lotto numbers, did you know on the day that Obama was officially the President Elect(11/05/2008), the pick three numbers in his state were 666. Something else to think about.

Well, that does it! I'm under the bed and I'm staying here!

We all go bat sh** now and then. Try not to worry about it, maybe have a beer and relax, you’ll get better. While Imanutjob may very well nuke Israel I sincerely doubt the word mabus is pointing that out. His other predictions, while anything but clear, at least had a word one could recognize and didn’t require solving an anagram in order to decipher it.

Agreed
