Interesting prediction from the 16th Century?

‘Come the millennium, month twelve,
In the home of the greatest power,
The village idiot will come forth
To be acclaimed the leader’.

Nostradamus [1555]:
I’m not sure whether this belongs in MPSIMS, but I figured it’s political so it would go here!!!

I’m also not sure whether it is authentic or not (somehow I doubt it), but regardless it’s sure the hell funny so I thought I’d post it for comment :wink:

hey, Gore lost!:smiley:

This has been going around in email for the last few weeks, and I seriously doubt its veracity. Nostradamus didn’t write so clearly.

besides wasn’t he claiming that world ends in 1999?

Snopes has it as false.

The leader of what? The Shriners? The Boy Scouts? Amway?

Jesus H. Christ on a Harley, I thought we were fighting ignorance here.

Any other gems you’d like to share with us?

BZZZZZZZZZ! Nope, sorry, incorrect.

Not true. A lie. An urban legend. Fakelore. Viral marketing. Nope. Uh-uh. Not remotely. False as false can be.

And now we’ll tell you what you DIDN’T win…
