Two great rocks for a long time will make war... that is quite a blatantly obvious statement for Nostrodamus... 'make war' usa hater will color (he must have been American) a new river red. blood? a new river? that is certainly cryptic - the whole bloody things are... but how about this... Earth Shaking Fire from the centre of the earth that basically sounds like a volcano The towers of the new city to shake an earthquake two great rocks for a long time will make war... America and who else? Could this be more a reference to the cold war? to the US and Iraq in the Gulf War - wasn't there a volcano (Mt. St. Helens) and a major earthquake (in Los Angeles) before the Gulf War? A New river? The new 'war' of terrorism - or something else maybe the oil fields that were left burning in Kuwait and Iraq!?! ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 21 Sep 2001 04:26:52 -0700 (PDT) From: Dan Stapleton Subject: [oztori] these petty things all this bitching is getting soooooo boring... *yawn* l'il dan ===== Its crazy but often clear ~~We shimmer and disappear ~~ In color in black and white ~~We slowly fade out of sight... but these days we're lit by lightning~~ Thin lines of light... - -- Counting Crows http://thedent.com/rainn.html ____________________________ __________________________________________________ Terrorist Attacks on U.S. - How can you help?

OK. scrap that last post - but the point still stands. You can apply them to many situations. They are always 'oh yeahh' sort of statements AFTER something happens where you can fit it. If you tried to second guess EVERYTHING you did from reading the many quatraines and prophecies - not only Nostrodamus' but other prophecies - you wouldn't live life - you'd be constantly standing still trying to work out which path to take. If people CAN work them out before hand and avert something ?terrible? then fine. Its a wonder they don't try and use it to predict the stock market.

I don't think you'd be too worried that you were about to be killed if it happened immediately after. Tori content - Tori breast-fed a pig on the BFP sleeve, if you hadn't notices already (like DUH!)
