Yes, I have heard of him. He's a man who foretells world events. I have not studied him well just know him by name and what he's predicted.Here's a link about him http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nostradamus

I'm familiar with who he is and his prophecies.
It's like every psychic... the predictions are very vague and not specific.
I don't believe in prophecies unless they are very specific.
I could tell my friend would meet a woman in red, but a woman in black will be the one he will marry.
Well, "woman in red" could be red dress, red pants, red shirts, red hair, etc... and the same goes for "woman in black". Red and black are very common colors... especially when it comes to women. So, it could be one out of 1,000 women that he will meet. It could also mean that the woman he met was in blue, but when he went on a date with her and that date led them into a relationship... she was in black. So, who is to say that my prediction was accurate? I didn't explain what that "red" and "black" was. I didn't explain when it would happen. I didn't give a more specific description of those women. I simply made it very vague and left the rest up to him for self-interpretation.
That's how Nostradamus works... he simply wrote a book that can be interpreted in many ways.

He didn't predict 9/11.
They took separate phrases from different parts of the book and put them together in one line to make it look like one single prediction.
It's like me saying, "On Friday, you will meet a wonderful person." and "On Tuesday, you will hit a mean guy."
Well, on Tuesday... you hit a wonderful person. I simply take "On Friday, you will meet a wonderful person." and "On Tuesday, you will hit a mean guy." and put them into one sentence to make... "On Tuesday, you will hit a wonderful person." So, does that mean my prediction came true?
Same here.
