To All: Great thread! I haven't had time to read through all the posts but have a question that might have already been addressed: Has anyone read p20 of "Nostradamus Predicts the End of the World" by Rene Noorbergen ? This book was given to me when I was in high school in 1982. I read a little and thought "yea, right" and put it on the bookshelf. I was visiting my mom and picked up the book again last month and by gosh the first three predictions have happened since 1982. In summary: 1. World shrinks (increased travel, internet etc.) 2. Overthrow of communism (that's where I said "yea right" in '82) 3. Friendship between US and Russia 4. Turmoil in the mid and far East (happening now I think. Economic collapse in Indonesia, Thailand etc. causing rioting and social unrest. He predicts the UN and IMF intervention will fail. China will eventually unify and control the region. 5. In the midst of all this unrest he predicts a meteor a mile in diameter will impact in the middle of the Indian Ocean. Turned on the news the other day and saw that "a meteor aprox. a mile in diameter will come close to earth around 30 years from now". Could this be the meteor Nosty was writing about? A lot can happen in 30 years to the flight path of a meteor as it travels through space moving in and out of the various gravitational fields. What looks "close but no problem" now might turn out to "oh @#$%" 20 years from now. I told my wife "If I see a meteor come down in the middle of the Indian Ocean I'm definitely going to read the rest of this book!" She said "yea, right". Any ideas or comments? Regards, Lee
