From the "Ask Jeeves" Day Calendar:
How did Nostradamus predict all those future events?
It has been convincingly suggested that, as a politically active Protestant living during the Inquisition, Nostradamus often talked in code about contemporary occurrences rather than trying to predict the future. Regardless, his maddening obscurity has been interpreted long after his death in dozens of different ways, showing that if you're obscure enough, put no time limit on your "predictions," and have thousands of people reinterpreting and retranslating your words for centuries afterward, you can be an amazing psychic too. |
