((((((((((This is in no way should be read as an attack of the innocent people involved in the devastation. Please don’t read it that way.)))))))))))) I predict within the next few weeks the Weekly World News will feature an article that will show the World Trade Center and the Pentagon fires and billous smoke with the face of the devil in it. Anyone want to supply the Weekly World News Headline for the WTC and Pentagon tragedy? Hopefully humour will make it feel a bit better. HUGS from a very shaken Sqrl in DC! Sqrl ---

They’ll get weeks of headlines out of this: “Nostrodamus Predicted Terrorist Attacks!” “Jeanne Dixon Predicted Terrorist Attacks!” “Edgar Cayce Predicted Terrorist Attacks!” “Batboy Injured in Terrorist Attacks!” “World’s Fattest Baby Driven to Eat by Terrorist Attacks!” “World’s Skinniest Woman Marries Osama Bin-Laden!” ---

The Nostradamus crap has already started: > [@](#): > > “In the City of God there will be a great thunder, Two brothers torn apart by Chaos, while the fortress endures, the great leader will succumb” , “The third big war will begin when the big city is burning” > > - Nostradamus 1654 Uh-huh.
