[aclug-L] Re: Hoax Nostradamus Quatrain About NYC Terrorist Attacks (fwd)

[Ryan Hunt <rhunt@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well the first quote is accully a quote from him that I was able to find
on a couple websites and in a book that were published far before the
event at the wtc... The part that gives it away is the year it says it was
quoted in.. If my reasearch was correct he died in mid 1500's, some 100
years before this alleged thing... The remaining other quotes have been
badly modified and completely misquoted, I am not 100% certain but im
shure there is no latin word for "York" and every english oracle is
translated from latin.

Nostradamus has been considered a quack in todays worlds because many of
his phrophecy's are so vauge you could fit them into almost any situation
if you were determined enough. This is just another example of this.
