Interesting take on the predictions. Weird how he has been so accurate to a degree. Wonder sometimes how he did it. Have any links to Nostradamus's predictions so I could read them?

Nostradamus never predicted anything, people have just used their imaginations to mold historical events to what he wrote after the fact. No one has ever made any successful prediction based on his writings, but it is very easy to twist around his writings (or any others for that matter) to fit any number of historical events.
I would have understood had you said, "Nostradamus never got any predictions right." But I'll beg to differ on the point that "Nostradamus never predicted anything".

Semantics, semantics, I think the context of my post made the meaning rather clear. However, there is some thought that he actually wasn't making predictions but was talking about things in his own time, criticizing this and that about his modern day world through the guise of futuristic writing.
In the end it really doesn't matter, I guess, either way his words hold no predictive power at all, unlike, say, the laws of physics.
Anyway, I've been doing some thinking about the antichrist myself, I'm gonna make my own prediction here and use Nostradamus to back it up.
First, let's look at his name: Nostradamus. Now if we switch some letters we get madus, flip the "d" and you get mabus. Boom, less of a stretch than "GW Bush" and the "silent latin H" (lol).
Ok, so now we have "Nostra Mabus". I think this means that Mabus is Nostradamus coming back from the dead and working at the Terra Nostra Organic chocolate company (www.terranostrachocolate.com...). What better way to take over the world than with delicious chocolate?

I'd like to get some people's opinions on this. Nostradamus' had a knack for playing on names with his predictions. The first two antichrists he predicted have been interpreted as Napaulon Roy being Napoleon, and Hister as Hitler. The third and final anti-christ was to be named Mabus as stated above.
