Excellent timing - the my idiot cubemate came in spewing this stuff this morning - it was a pleasure to pass this info to him. Many thanks, Johnny L.A.!!
Thanks. I was going to rebutt it myself anyway (to a coworker), but with web accessibility being questionable right now, couldn’t get to many sites to refute it…thanks for the help!
Thanks Johnny! I’ve gotten a couple of these emails in the past couple of days and while I regarded them with skepticism, I never checked snopes. Of course, I didn’t forward the emails either. I have since replied to the people sending me the email, and those included in the email, the link to the snopes site.
I’ve been replying with links to a Nostradamus website that said it wasn’t one of his quadrains, a link to snopes, and description of what Nostradamus’ works were written in (mixture of Languages, some parts backwards) and how easily open to interpretation they are.
Let’s also keep in mind that NYC is at or near the 40th parallel, not the 45th. May not seem like much, but it’s the difference between New York City and the northern borders of Vermont and New York State. The 45th parallel forms part of our border with Canada.
I’ve been hitting “reply all” for two days on this one also pointing out the the second part was written by someone else and the the descrepancy between his death date and the date noted on the prophecy. I swear I am invisible though.
