[quote="Chronic Diarrhea":8adc7]All Nostradamus did was generalize a lot of events. For example, when he wrote those quadraints, many wars were being faught in Europe at the time. It was actually a pretty good assumption that sooner or later, many countries would get anfry with one another and start a "world war". He also made an educated guess that a world war could be caused by a mad man hungry on world domination (Hitler). As for the world trade center, he generalized that like no other. He didn't predict that a plane would crash into the world trade center; all he said was a bird would crash into two twin brothers. If 9/11 had never happened, we wouldn't have the slightest idea as to what the hell he was talking about. I do give him credit though it is rather amazing that he predicted many things. But remember that he predicted that the world would come to an end on November 12, 1998 (something like that).[/quote:8adc7]
Your exactly right. He made a lot of generalizations. As explained above, its not like he said "American airlines flight whatever will crash into the first tower of the WTC on Spet 11, 2001 at 8:36am" A lot of his stuff that he has predicted has been wrong, What do you call the stuff that is right? Coincidence? Psychic, like Miss Cleo? I don't know I guess thats for you to decide. I don't think I can really buy it though.

Maybe because the twin towers have the most people killed and it's actually bigger than the pentagon?

I asked him how he came up with his predictions and he told me he found these really odd mushrooms. Then he suddenly got these visions.

lol, its basically what Nostro. said. Every prediction will come true no matter what in some time or another (unless a specific date is mentioned). I can predict in the 34th century, the greatest power in the universe will have an epidemic of disease. That will probably be true some point in time.

He did predict the twin towers... Anyone see the movie about him?? It shows the twin towers falling and that movie was made like 5 years before 9/11. He said the twin peaks of the man made mountains in the brave new world would fall...or something.

Err yeah except if he didn't write the movie or star in it, it probably has no validity toward him.

The movie was named Nostradamus. It came out in 1994 and 9/ll happened in 2001. Watch the movie...good movie.
