Maybe it's just that I'm bored and it's 1am and I'm watching History Channel, but what is all this crap about Nostradamus being a great prophet? I could write little vague poems and draw cute little pictures and let people analyze them and make them fit into the context of whatever world event happens.

"This is an eagle flying in the stars...NOSTRADAMUS PREDICTED THE HOLOCAUST!"

This guy wrote countless quatrains and drew a ton of pictures and the people that get PAID to analyze his work come up with their own "symbolism" and use it to say Nostradamus "predicted" something that happened 400 years later. What a load of baloney.

This is the same bullshit as the Mayan calendar. "OMG. THE WORLD'S GOING TO END IN 2012! THE MAYANS PREDICTED IT!" Yeah. If the Mayans were such great foreseers, they would have seen the Spanish coming to totally fuck their society. There have been several polar shifts before and the world hasn't come to an end.

This is a pretty much silly and pointless topic, I guess. I understand if you guys lose a lot of respect for me.
