pccoder 0 #1 November 3, 2004 I remember back when I was a child in the mid 80's watching a Nostradamus video where it depicted a 25+ year war in the middle east. No slamming me allowed on this one! Just out of curiousity, anyone else see that video? I am not saying we are headed that way, not saying we aren't (even though we've been involved militarily since 1990 with the middle east). Should I just go ahead and say let the argument begin? PcCoder.net Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lawrocket 3 #2 November 3, 2004 It was the "Man who Saw Tomorrow" and narrated by Orson Welles. It's concept was that from the Middle East would come a Man in a Purple Turban who was the 3rd AntiChrist, who will cause destruction and worldwide war. Of course, it also predicted the Big One in Los Angeles to occur in May, 1988. I lived in LA at the time, and it was interesting how people were spooked about the Big One happening that month. It's all conjecture and post hoc reasoning. My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now the east is a big place an the Gregorian calender is 4yrs adrift, So who knows may be this is the year. have to happen quickly though. You may correct me if I'm wrong.

Christ was born around 4 BC, so the end of the world should have happened in 1996. There's always these BS prophecies going on. I think the guy that wrote the Straight Dope column said it best concerning Nostradamus: "He did for bullshit what Stonehenge did for rocks!"

ChasingBlueSky 0 #5 November 4, 2004 According to the translation the movie used (which seems to be on the dramatic side) It said the man in the blue turban would return from the dead to attack the new city. Interesting enough in the movie they played out an attack and a missle shield failing to protect NYC._________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....
