Nostradamus
-
Free will, blah blah blah... A translation/interpretation (no matter how good/bad/twisted the translation is) for a 400-year-old text carries just as much weight as anything else that's been posted in the last two days. Don't get carried away guys - I got that in an email and decided I'd share it.

Sounds like some people have been watching too much First Wave on the SciFi channel. :) Kind regards, Tim

Thats from this link http://www.ed.brocku.ca/~nmarshal/nostradamus.htm Is it a real translation?

John, This is a particularly bad translation of one of the quatrains (not 1654 - there is no such number). And, it fails to fit yesterdays events terribly well (why would NY be the "City of God", and what is "the Fortres" and the "great leader", and if Nostradamus could really see this event, why would he not refer to "two towers", rather than "two brothers" (although, in the original French it's not really two brothers either!!). Please, this is a crazy enough time without introducing/promoting such rubbish. To borrow from Monty Python - "Nostradamus is no psychic, he's just a naughty boy.". I'd rather see CodeProject embrace Linux and Java (!!!) than waste anymore bandwidth on this garbage. The WTC is real, 300 dead firefighters is real, Nostradamus is a waste of space!
Not that I put much faith in this stuff... (None at all actually) But the Fortress could well be the Pentagon (it's still there, mostly.. it endures), the great leader could be Bin Laden, and the City of God, well... that could be a bad translation... somethign like "In the greatest city" or something.. Yeah, i'm pulling this out of my ass, but hey.. denying it based on false interpretations is just as bad as believing in it based on false interpretations.

apparently according to http://www.nostradamus-repository.org/search/index.htm nostradamus didn't make that prophecy, it was made up by a guy at http://www.ed.brocku.ca/~nmarshal/nostradamus.htm Senior Test Engineer GLI Australia www.gli.com.au
