    Maybe I'm becoming more of a skeptic or a cynic, but all Nostradamus did was write a bunch of vaguely worded three-lined statements. Sure, the term nuclear war wasn't used in the 1500s, but I'm sure there was a word or phrase for "great big freaking tidal wave." I use that phrase because someone was trying to link a statement to the 2004 killer tsunami.

    If you really saw something, wouldn't you want to report it clearly as possible?

    Ah, you see Nostradamus was also a bit of a dick.

    But a vaguely clairvoyant dick...

    Which indicates his dickishness. If he weren't a dick, he'd have been a lot more specific, and thereby a lot more useful.

    Funny you make that post given your complaint on the "Good morning, Gentlemen. Welcome to another SportsJournalists.com Awards vote" thread.

    The Weekly World News is a great source for information. Or so says Tommy Lee Jones.
