*shrugs* .... I've lost my faith in all of that stuff.

Ma perciocche` giammai di questo fondo
Non torno` vivo alcun, s`i`odo il vero,
Senza tema d`infamia ti rispondo."

Coddman, I have a question for you. Please don't take it as an attack, I ask simply out of curiosity. Before August rolled around, did you believe that he meant September, or did you come to that belief after the missiles didn't start flying?

Josh: I think they're getting to know each other a bit too well, if you catch my drift.
Me: Oh, I agree. I think they're spending too much time together, that is of course, if you catch my drift.
Asher: I think he's *ucking her, and he's cheating on his wife, and he's risking his marriage, and if his wife finds out about it she'll leave him and take their son, and his life will be ruined. If you catch my drift...

I believed he meant July, not September. Two reasons for this.

1. The prediction actually reads "July".
2. A few people from these forums had varying-type premonitions about the date July 14. I guess I was telling myself, "It HAS to be July." *LOL*

But of course it wasn't. EVERY ONE of Nostradamus' quatrain-prophecies is written in strange methods designed to keep the average person from figuring it out. Why should the WWIII prediction be any different? The July part is probably just a decoy.

Yes, the July part is just a decoy... but so is the 1999 part and the WW III part.

If the facts do not support the theory, discard either:

  1. the facts

    or

  2. the theory.

Orion: What time zone do you mean by midnight, do you mean eastern standard time, pacific time, mountain time, etc? I just want a more precise time when everything is going to end.

Precision and Nostrodamus hardly go hand in hand.

I meant midnight GMT and just in case you think that I actually believe that crap, DON'T!

I'm just quoting some nutters off the TV who said that the year 2000 meant nothing to them because the world will end at the stroke of midnight. My brother thinks the world will end before the 16th century on the Islamic calender starts, and since it is 1419/20 about now, we have 80 years according to my brother.

People should just live their lives as they come and not worry about this stuff because I am pretty damn sure that I will die normally (whatever normal is) and not because of the end of the world.

The World will end On October 14, 4,755,832,201 AD, when the sunn expands and engulfs the Earth. Give or take a million years or so.
