I never have. I just dismiss the claims that Nostradamus had any ability to do so...or that his rather cryptic quatrains have any value in predicting forthcoming events. All the books written about him, all the documentaries made about him, not ONE had one 'hit' with any of his quatrains when it came to predicting events in the future from the date of publication or broadcast...every one of Nostradamus' famous 'predictions' have ALWAYS been via quatrains which have been interpreted AFTER THE FACT to refer to some event the interpreter decides was referred to...

I think that Nostrodamus predicted that the man who robbed his grave would instantaneously die by a bullet - which is what happened - it was a ricochet from a distant battle. However, we have a rather large resource of prophets on which to draw .. The Bran Seer [as rome was, london is, and edinburgh will be ...] Mother Shipton [she agrees with Nostrodamus and is very detailed] Thomas the Rhymer [Uk and apocalyptic] he was a middle ages abductee .. The thing is that we cannot dismiss out of hand the possibility that beyond our current set of restricted human senses lies an understanding of time and space that is non-linear. In some version of reality, maybe the future does come first. I would have been very surprised if Nostrodamus had named the man who would rob his grave - because I believe that getting THAT specific is impossible, which is why I believe the 'Bible Code' which names Oswald and JFK is a fake.

[CTRL] The date of the 'new millennium'

The Y2K thing refers to the problem with a two-digit year on systems which presume the first 2-digits of the IMPLIED year are '19'...therefore, those systems, if not modified, will presume a year '00' refers to 1900... But this has NOTHING to do with when the twentieth century ends, and the twenty-first century -- and the new millennium -- begins. The twentieth century/2nd millennium ends on Dec. 31, 2000, and the twenty-first century/3rd millennium begins on Jan. 1, 2001. And to answer the question posed in your opening paragraph, my answer is 'no', since Nostradamus' predictions have NEVER been useful BEFORE an event, his reputation has been built up via hindsight (which is always '20/20') interpreting his very cryptic statements. Nostradamus' 'predictions' are like inkblots, one can read into them whatever one wishes to project into them... June *===* The world is coming to an end.
