It's a hoax spreading faster than a worm looking for an inbox. Some e-mails claim the 16th century French forecaster Nostradamus saw the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center coming. One quoted text making the rounds only roughly relates to Nostradamus' prophecies. Another quoted text, which seems curiously detailed ("in the city of York there will be a great collapse, two twin brothers torn apart by chaos"), is just plain bogus and never came from Nostradamus' mind or his pen, according to www.nostradamus-repository.org. Remember this before you forward any fake forecasts from the Frenchman to your friends.
