Nostradamus, the most famous astrologer who ever lived, was born in France in 1503 and published his barely scrutable collection of prophecies, The Centuries, in 1555. Each four-line verse (or "quatrain") purported to foretell world events far into the future, and ever since Nostradamus' time devotees have claimed his work accurately predicted wars, natural disasters and the rise and fall of empires. Yet it is plain to see that Nostradamus couched his "prophetic" verses in language so obscure that the words can be, and have been, interpreted to mean almost anything. What's more, the interpreting is always done after the fact, with the benefit of hindsight, and with the concerted aim of proving the relevance of a given passage to an actual event. If the aftermaths of past catastrophes are any indication, in the coming weeks and months we can expect a bumber crop of arcane tracts purporting to show beyond doubt that Nostradamus foresaw the World Trade Center and Pentagon attacks of September 11, 2001.In fact, thanks to the efforts of anonymous Internet pranksters, the he-told-you-sos have already begun. "Spooky" quatrains allegedly foretelling the events of 9/11 with incredible specificity were circulating online within hours of the first jetliner crash in New York City — completely bogus quatrains, as it turned out. It wasn't a question of whether or not they accurately predicted anything; Nostradamus simply didn't write them. Would that be weird if you found out that someone could actually predict a major event in the United States history. Do we actually have fortune tellers or people who can predict the future. That just seems crazy to me.
I have heard a story doing the rounds and want to know if you think it's based on any fact at all. I must admit it does smell of "urban legend."
It concerns a girl who orders a McChicken Sandwich from McDonald's with no mayonnaise. She then proceeds to leave the restaurant before eating the sandwich, only to discover there is mayonnaise on it. Not too fazed, she finishes it and thinks no more of it.
The next day she is ill with stomach cramps. It gets so bad she is taken to the hospital, where her stomach is duly pumped. The contents of her stomach are then sent to the lab for analysis.
She is later informed that she ingested a cyst belonging to a chicken. She then realises that is was the chicken's cyst which had burst as she bit into her McChicken Sandwich which gave the look of mayonnaise. I eat at McDonald's a bunch...I will make sure not to eat McChicken ever again.
This is absolutely disgusting but I have to share it because it does not get much worse than this. Its just like from an alien movie be very careful when u get caught with dust...as following pics will show effects of bad dust to a person.
While he was walking he felt an eye irritation, thinking that it was just regular dust, he started to rub his eye, in an effort to remove the dust.... then his eyes got really red, and he went and bought some eye drops from a pharmacy....few days passed n his eyes were still red and seems a little swollen.Again he dismissed it as the constant rubbing and that it will go away. The days go by the swelling of his eye got worse, redder and bigger.... till he decided to go and see a doctor for a check up.The doctor immediately wanted an operation, being afraid of a tumor growth or cyst. At the operation, what was thought to be a growth or cyst, actually turned out to be a live worm..... what was thought initially to be just mere dust actually was an insect's egg......because of that, my friends, if u do get caught in dust, and the pain persists, please go see a doctor immediately. EWWWWWWWWWW
A travel agent friend of mine swore this happened to her clients, but it's got all the signs of an urban legend (not only crude, but racist to boot):
A couple from suburban California were vacationing in Jamaica when their room was broken into and everything stolen, with the exception of their camera and their toothbrushes. Considering themselves fortunate to have retained the camera with their vacation photos, they returned home where they had the film developed.
Two pictures were unidentifiable -- something like an aerial view of two mounds of dark earth with a pole in between. They later realized, to their horror, that it was a photo of their toothbrushes up someones rear end. This is so gross and weird, but I found it and had to put it on this page. Could you imagine having that toothbrush in your mouth. Uhhh nasty.
I hope none of this stuff never happens to me and I will be sure to post more and new exciting blogs coming up. See ya.
