"If there was one thing the lucid dreaming ninja writer could not stand, it was used car salesmen."
The average newcomer has just as much of a chance of knowing who that is as anyone else. Personlly I don't see what one has to do with the other. So my answer would be neither. |

It could be worthy in other forums. |

So many variables, so little knowledge.
I used to be into the "Witchboard" etc, but it's like phoning random numbers on a telephone. You may get "Mother Teresa" or then again "Jack the Ripper". |

It is not impossible that he was a liar. |
|
I wouldn't call him a liar...more of a "Sylvia Browne" type. Making statements and predictions so general that they're bound to come true eventually. |
|
The best way to predict the future is to plan for it. Nostradamus was intimately connected to the de Medici bloodline - he was the doctor to Catherine de Medici, Queen of France. Descendents of this bloodline, to this day, help run the world (much of the royal family, the Bush's, nearly every other United States president to name a few). |

In this crazy world if they don't consider you mad, then you have no confirmation of your own sanity, do you?
Imagine if this crazy world thought you were sane?! Oh my God, worst nightmare!

He didn't predict anything. Out of over a 1000 vague guesses and he gets like 5 that "might" be right if you change the meaning around. With how vague they are its surprising that he got so many wrong. Just by guessing he should have got more right. |
|
Well I guess "like" 5 out of 1000 is good enough for you. No reason to actually look into it right? |

Even if it was 20 that is still a horrible record. Lets assume he did get 20 of them for a second. Thats still only 2% of his predictions comming true. |

...assuming it's actually 20 out of 1000. |

Yea to give him the benefit of the doubt. Its really about 5, like I said. You want an exact number but I cant give you one because people will argue over some of them. They are that vague. The number would be 4-7. No amount of argueing is ever going to get you any where near 20 though. So at best its still less than 2%, which means nothing. |

I'm guessing the number is at 100 max. |

The 1000 was an exact number. His predictions where writen in quatrains, which where each 4 lines. He wrote them as centuries, which each had 100. There was 10 of them. Which makes 1000 quatrains, which is 1000 predictions. |

OK, 942 it is |

See the thing is, he made everything so vague so that one prediction could relate to a lot of different things. One example is the New City at 45 degrees. A lot of people thought he was talking about another city. One in france I think it was. |

Alright, interesting enough. Evidence for both sides, but either way I agree there's no point in taking his stuff as gospel. Much easier to look at past civilizations and historical events to determine what's coming up, or what we should do with ourselves. I live and learn from my mistakes and those of others...I don't care for biblical stuff |

Pretty much on topic, I remembered this informative (and funny!) Prophecy for Dummies website. |

That is a very good link. Nostraduamus used a ton of the tricks that it listed. It even explains them all. If you can read that and still believe nostraduamus could do anything you would have to be nuts. |
