Every decade or so a new book on Nostradamus comes out, showing how he predicted the latest global catastophe. The only problem is the same sections seem to change with each release, so the old 'latest catastrophe' is gone, replaced by the newest one.
I think the guy was talking about events in his own time, and his modern fans keep 'proving' he was right.

Yep - Sailor Steve hit it on the head. Nostrodomus spoke in such cryptic language that his predictions could practically be used for any point in history. I guess we could all learn something for him though and it is 'not' his predictions about the future, it is his art of generalization! You could find a way to say something to make yourself right in any argument, in which case you just say, 'I told you so' at any point it is to your advantage!
 Must go study this man now.......  -S
