Does he go on to say whether we should be worried about this 'village idiot' - or any ambiguous passages about what follows? (3 guesses which person of note that applies to)

yeah he does:

"To an old chief will be born one with dull senses.  Degenerate both in knowledge and in weapons.  The chief of France feared by his sister,  Fields divided, conceded to the soldiers on horses."

Christ only knows what that means.  Bush is gonna insult the French?  I dunno.

And:

"The year following discoveries out of a flood, two leaders elected, the first one will not hold.  For one of them refuge from fleeing a shadow, plundered [will be] the house which [the] first will maintain."

Plundered?  Talking about the White house getting trashed and Clinton taking everything with him?

and:

"The sky will burn at forty-five degrees latitude, fire approaches the great new city [New York City lies between 40-45 degrees]Immediately a huge, scattered flame leaps up.  When they want to have verification from the Normans [French]."

So the French are gonna nuke New York?

furthermore:

"At a latitude of forty-eight degrees at the end of Cancer (July 22) there is a very great drought.  Fish in the sea, river and lake boiled hectic, Bearn and Biggore (Southwestern France) in distress from fire in the sky."

And the USA is gonna retaliate and nuke France.

Of course you guys realize that Nostradamus wrote his predictions in a mix of latin and old french, making it almost impossible to understand, unless of course if you choose your words...

oh dear, oh dear.

The "Village idiot hoax", as you put it, is not actually a hoax.  The actual wording of the quote is certainly modernised for comedy effect, but the quote itself holds true.

Check my 2nd post, those are direct from the quatrains (other peoples translations but close enough).

"To an old chief will be born one with dull senses. Degenerate both in knowledge and in weapons."      

Either way, it's still all true  :P   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

Swoop, Nostradamus is like the Bible. Interpretation is the key to it all - you can make them both say just about anything.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Shame none of us speak the dialect old Nosty used, because I suspect we'd realise he was completely and utterly bonkers.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Hi Jigster,
You pointing to the famous '1999' prophecy (X.72)
Original Text:
Century 10, Quatrain 72 "L'an mil neuf cens nonante neuf sept mois, Du ciel viendra vn grand Roy deffraieur: Resusciter le grand Roy d'Angolmois, Auant apres Mars regner par bon-heur."

and here some Translations:
 
John Hogue (Nostradamus and the Millennium):
 
"In the year 1999 and seven months The Great King of Terror will come from the Sky He will ressurect Ghengis Khan Before and after war rules happily"
 
Erika Cheetham (The Final Prophecies of Nostradamus):
 
"In the year 1999, and seven months from the sky will come the great King of Terror. He will bring to life the great king of the Mongols. Before and after war reigns happily"

Leoni:
"The year 1999, seventh month, From the sky will come a great King of Terror: To bring back to life the great King of the Mongols, Before and after Mars to reign by good luck."
 
Michael Jordan (Nostradamus and the new millennium):
 
"In July 1999, a great and terrifying ruler will come from the skies and revive the great king of the Angoulmois before and after which Mars will rule with good fortune."
 
Stefan Palus (Nostradamus 2000):
 
"The year 1999, the seventh month, From the sky will come a great King of Terror: Resuscitating the great King of the Mongols, Before and after Mars to reign happily."
 
Alef (A.P.N. newsgroup):
 
"The year nine hundred ninety nine seven month, From sky will come one grand King of fright: Resurrect the grand King of Angolmois, Before after Mars reign by good-luck."
 
Peter Lemesurier (A.P.N. Alternate FAQ)
 
"When 1999 is seven months o'er Shall Heaven's great Ruler, anxious to appease, Stir up the Mongol-Lombard king once more And war reign haply where it once did cease."


You see, you have the choice, now pick the one who fits you best  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
I still remember back 1999 August, there was all
over the i-net this Nostro 1999 hype.
And i still remember a great moment in August 1999 when we had the total sun eclipse here,
our Town was inside 100% of the eclipse, it was REALLY dark at 1pm  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
An absolute fascinating natural phenomen !

Swoop, Nostradamus is like the Bible.

Actually he is more like that phychic CLEA that I see on infomercials at 3am all the time, start out direct and slowly and impreceptivly winden the analysis until if fits almost anyone or any situation.

Still kinda eerie though.

btw was the world supposed to end again this week or was that last week?   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

Mrfish, the Mexican Army has 3 guys and a Chihuahua in it.

It is a well known fact that the Mexican Girl Scouts are only used on the tough assignments, I am sending them to take the rest of Europe.

I persist to say that you can read everything you want, as this is not understandable. As a French, if I read "L'an mil neuf cens nonante neuf sept mois, Du ciel viendra vn grand Roy deffraieur: Resusciter le grand Roy d'Angolmois, Auant apres Mars regner par bon-heur", I read " The year 1999, seventh month, from the sky will come a great king of "Frightening" (?:ununderstable): Resurrect the great king of Angoulmois (ever heard of the city of Angouleme? Some Valois kings came from here. At least that is the interpretation I wanna give. I can read mongols in old french if I want), "auant" ("avant" is before, but auant is unknown) after March reign with happiness". Here is the translation I can give without trying to interprete too much.

Done a little research on the Net "french toast" is what we call "Pain perdu" it's a way to use the bread who is not fresh enought to be eated as is.
It's and old popular (and cheap) traditionnal recipe.

I'm impressed ,I know 3 recipes for french toast but you American have invented a lot more! I think that it's not anymore a French recipe   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Now wait a minute.  Some of that stuff stinks so bad, you can almost see the odor rising from it...and...why, sometimes, that could almost look like smoke, which is associated with fire...which means...

They better have a hell of a lot of white wine and crackers up there in New York!  I'm not sure the French understand how many yups and pseudo-yups are in that area...most of their assault could probably be consumed in the first day.

Straffo, dropping all the stinky cheese in France on Washington would have absolutely no effect, in fact it would actually be considered a freshening up.
