Did Nostradamus predict the Japanese earthquake?

[nicelander]

Century 1 Quatrain 46
Very near Auch, Lectoure and Mirande
a great fire will fall from the sky for three nights
The cause will appear both stupefying and marvellous
shortly afterwards there will be an earthquake.

he wrote loads of these quatrains, all quite vague and could be made to fit any event. I suppose next year it will be all about the mayans and their doomsday predictions :S

Those are there who say that even if this did happen, it wouldnt effect us directly as it doesnt seem to have affected our neanderthal ancestors that much - though an interesting one might be computers and comm,unication networks.

I remember years ago someone saying he had predicted charles and dis wedding and they would live happily ever after as king and queen

Nostradamus used a very difficult dialect of mediaeval french, and some of the words he used are just not known, because they have not been recorded in any other writings with any understandable meanings, especially not in dictionaries, which did not exist at that time anyway. It is impossible to make accurate translations into modern English (or modern French, come to that ) if a lot of the words mean nothing to the translator, who then just has to guess.

I watched Brian Cox last weekend, he predicts that the sun will cool in millions of years' time, and human life will be long gone before that. Perhaps Monsieur N says something about that?
