LOL -- thanks, NHN. Is that a blast from the past, or what?
>>>>How do we know?<<<<
Damned if I know, as far as I'm concerned, I nominate my Mother-in-Law.

LOL, thanks. I first posted that thing some years ago -- not long after 9/11 when a bunch of these silly Nostradomus "prophecies" were posted here on FR.
One obvious and glaring problem with the "Nostradamus predicted it all" school:
Why is it that NONE of you ever brings these prophecies to light BEFORE they come true? You know, like when they might be useful?
Nostradamus only ever seems to make sense, somehow, in hindsight (when we have villians and events to shove into purposely vague quatrains in order to fill in the blanks). That does not mean he had any actual foresight.
If anyone can tell me what Nostradamus had to say about the price of Citigroup stock a year from now, and I'll split the profits (not prophet, get it?) with you.
Well... lets kill him anyway... just to be safe.
Genghis Khan and Attila the Hun have also been noted..
Actually, I'm not absolutely sure Nostradamus actually claimed this would be the 3rd AC.. Just the last..
There may have been more than 3..
Napoleon, however, was definitely considered one of the AC's, by Nostradamus..
Likewise, Hitler..
Regardless of the number, each and every one was recognized as a threat to mankind...
In the case of Attila, and possibly Hitler, also a threat to Christianity..
"perhaps he meant that he will enter Europe driving a blue Suburban."
Nice !!! Now that's funny, thanks !!!
The two reckoned in Catholic prophecies as part of a demonic trinity of anti-Christs are Napoleon, Hitler, and the last one who will present himself as Universal Savior or the World Teacher.
"On my cheek, there is the mole; between my teeth, there is the gap."
Many are said to have been moved by the spirit of anti-christ such as the leaders and people of all of the "hordes" i.e., that of the great Khan, Attila and the Huns, and the various hordes of Muslims especially the Mamelukes.
At times he does like to look just like that.
oooh,oooooo,ooooo or he could mean that only 45 degrees of sky caught fire and we're left with only 135 degrees of usable sky....

I burned my CITI credit card when I saw them mixed up in a Citgo Gas station commercial. Think about THAT for awhile!
CITI = Citgo = Hugo Chavez?
Probably Danish or Swedish, possibly Belgian or French, since they seem to be having more troubles with their Muslim populations' repressed sexuality. I would think that as a defense mechanism, they are taking a page from Darwin, and adapting camouflage so as to be less noticed by predators, thereby increasing the chances of survival.
I thought he wrote in somewhat, well, idiosyncratic Latin -- which I guess isn't incompatible with "undecipherable junk," come to think of it! ;-)
There was a sort of desultory style in him when I was in college (late 60s), but the only thing that struck me was his prediction (or so I heard) that the final battle would be with Islam -- and it only struck me for its implausibility . . . sand, camel jockeys, tents.
It is always us (US) who make overtures and concessions to get the green weenie in the end as in (result). They are bound and determined to defeat us through proxy.
