Well I'm just reading this book right now since I always wondered how many things he got right, now some 400 years after his work was published and I'd like to post some interesting bits from it as I come by them. So starting with this one:

76
To an old leader will be born an idiot heir
weak both in knowledge and in war.
The leader of France is feared by his sister,
batlefields divided, conceded to the soldiers

Sounds familiar?

Are you attempting to 'agiter le merde' if you will pardon my french?

I personally find Nostredamus and others like him so vauge and illusive that their messages are so wide open to interpretation that anyone who wants to beleive in them can find exactly what they want in the mesages. I am extreamly skeptical of this sort of thing.

I don't believe in predictions. Especially when the future is involved.

Maybe if he would have gone out to a bar during "ladie's night" he wouldn't had to write down a bunch of crap nobody really cares about. Between the super volcano in Yellowstone, an astroid hitting the earth, gloal warming and the rising sea level and about a dozen more disasters we're all dead any way.

Classy. Everything sounds better in French!

Well if you want to believe in Fairy Tales and Conspiracy Theories....Nostradamus is probably a good starting point.....then there is Cindrella......etc.

[Aksess]

What is the correct spelling Nostredamus? Or Nostredumbass? lol

Interesting, innit?

Well, as one great man once said:

"There ought to be limits to freedom."

I'm like that in one way! I like the predictions of the past!

Nostradamus is a lot like modern horoscopes, if you ask me.

[sdantonio]

I think the real burning question here is, with all his gifts and forethought, does Nostradamus have any predictions or comments on the question of servo motors vs. steppers? And if so, what are his comments. Or does he not speak of other threads?

I seem to recall he had a vague reference to losing steps and that servos were his preference. Might have been talking about Torquemada though.

[greybeard]

Wasn't that a case of your o-pinions not fitting his racks ?

....That... was a stretch.
