Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mal Malenkirk" data-source="post: 421839" data-attributes="member: 834">Nostradamus nonsense and the AntichristI caught the end of a discovery channel show on an update of the Nostradamus mythos updated for 9/11.There was some weird looking guy with a an ugly beard who was presented as some sort of expert on Nostradamus.  Amongst other nonsense he was explaining how one must interpret the quatrain by decyphering the words.  I kid you not, the guy was removing and adding letters to the words in order to get meaning out of them.  And these were translated quatrain!  You translate words and then you rearrange the letters and I can find you deeper meaning in the recipe for a spaghetti sauce...The inevitable part about the three antichrist came about and of course Oussama bin Laden is the brand new candidate to star in the role of the third antichrist in the next Broadway play called ''Delusion! The Musical''.  Just what we needed; more hysteria.  Bin Laden is sent by Satan to start WWW3...  Who finance these idiots?  Company producing canned food?And while we're talking about antichrist, why the heck is Napoleon the first antichrist?  He was an ambitious general and politician who was at the head of one of the most powerful state of the era; France.  He wanted to spread this power.  Other powerful state didn't want him to.  And so there was war.  Napoleon is no different then any other leader of this era except he was greater.  He was a greater strategist than his colleague, he had greater ambitions, he rose to greater height and in the end he fell harder.  200 years later a few obscurantist anglo-saxons dubbed him the Antichrist.  Why not Cromwell instead, huh? Heck, I'm just rambling.  I don't know what it is about Nostradamus and similar subjects that always tick me off.  But there, I feel a little better.</blockquote>
