The power of this newsgroup (Nostradamus related)
Alexandre
A few months ago I invented and posted a totally fake "Nostradamus
prediction" about Spain winning the World Cup in this group. Now this
"prediction" is all over the spanish media. All the top radio stations
and papers in the country are actually reading what it was originally
my post as something factual, something that Nostradamus actually
wrote. Of course the origin of this "quatraine" must have been lost a
long time ago from people taking my original post and pasting it
somewhere else.
I keep laughing my ass off every time I hear or see my post taken as
something real that Nostradamus said. It's just an example of how easy
is to deceive the general public ( I did make clear that the prediction
was a fake in my post) and how anything that is posted in this newsgoup
can actually reach the general media.
By the way, Wenger signed a contact with Real Madrid candidate Villar
Mir five days ago in Paris. He won't be forced to admit to it unless
Villar Mir wins the election just like in the case of Figo and Perez
but it is a done deal. I don't think that Villar Mir will win the
elections though.

This is so funny. Here is a link to keep a watch on "developing

Thanks for tha laughs. I wonder what will happen if Spain does win the
World cup in the seventh month of 2006.

Here's the original thread:

If Spain wins the WC, this thing will hit tv. There will be panel of
"experts" discussing how accurate "Nostradamus" is with his predictions
yet again.
I don't know if you are from Spain but my post has already been read
twice in "El Larguero", the largest sports radio program in Spain with
an average audience of 1.5 million nightly and in "el Carrusel" another
mega sports program in the afternoon. It's just that the poor kids
actually believe they are reading Nostradamus not me.

Damn fine work. Looking forward to you hitting the big-time with an
entry at snopes.com
When I worked at a ski resort, once in a while I'd tell a couple
employees that <insert random big celebrity> was skiing that week. By
the time it came back to me there were dozens of reports of sightings
by the lifties. None of the celebrities were even on the same continent
at the time. ~Ann

I'm from Spain and I found the Nostradamus topic last week in the
Internet. I supposed it was totally fake, but (as in the X-files), we
want to believe. We need to believe, so we irresponsibly want to
believe in your white lie. Anyway, our media shouldn't spread those
kind of missinformations. We don't deserve such bad radios and
newspapers in our country, (do we?)...
Thanks for building hopes!
Go Spain!

I don't know what you are taking about. I went to look into my edition of
Les Propheties, inherited from my Corsican great-grand father (Garencières,
32, Rue de l'Hospital, Montpellier, 1672) and I found in the seventh
Century, quatrain 42, the following:
"quand 2006 est de six mois au-dessus du roi de l'Espagne croise les
Pyrénées avec son armée. Les légions de Belzebu attendent la bataille dans
les plaines de l'Europe centrale. La destruction et la défaite tombe sur la
mauvaise. Le Graal Saint revient avec le roi triomphant à Hispania."
Obviously you have an anti-Spanish bias, particularly now that la Furia has
become one of the favourites.

You're a big lier. 4th century, quatrain 42 says:
42
Two newly arrived have seized the poison,
to pour it in the kitchen of the great Prince.
By the scullion both are caught in the act,
taken he who thought to trouble the elder with death.

And don't try to say there's a conspiration against Spain, because I'm
spanish.

So what is the Spanish media doing now? Are they saying that
Nostradamus was wrong?

Wow so it made it to the TV much before than expected. I hope you have
a recording of that. It would be incredibly funny. An RSS gem.

Since you mentioned it, I found at least three Indian sites that have
it. Unfortunately, all of them give credit to Spanish Media. A real
good find would be some site that treats it as if they found it (like
Spanish media :) )

It would be interesting to hear what Spanish players thought of it.
They must have surely heard it.

Well it was beautiful while it lasted. Now it's time for somebody else
to post some crap in this group and make it show on tv. Let the good

Sounds like the American press before the Iraq invasion.

Sounds like the White House befor the Iraq invasion.

I'm guessing Bush will mention the Spanish championship in the next State of
the Union speech.

Maybe somebody could make up another "Nostradamus quatrain"
and mail it to Fox News or some other media outlet. Or better yet,
start a rumor in a blog that Nostradamus wrote about Bush as "the
liberator of Iraq". Who knows, maybe Bill O'Reilly or Rush Limbaugh
will pick it up and mention it on their shows. :-)
