Actually, the "prediction" that's most often sent around in e-mails wasn't actually from Nostradamus. It was actually from an article someone wrote ABOUT Nostradamus, talking about how easy it was to make up general sounding predictions that mean so little that they can be applied to just about anything.
The person writing the article gave the quoted prediction as his example.
(Something about twins burning at 45 or something).

all of his verses are cryptic. as in most bibles. you can pick out any verse and try ad make it fit the circumstances.
also if he was able to see into the future he didn't have the words to describe what he saw in the language of the time.

He didn't. That's a myth. All of his predictions are entirely subject to interpretation.

He didn't. Some people nowadays simply read into his ambiguous writings things that he didn't put there.

i think he kept his "predictions" extremely vague so that it would be easy to apply his "predictions" to catastrophic world events. i've personally heard enough of his crap.

Did you also realized that "gullible" is also not in the dictionary?
