Nothing. They just had the balls to broadcast my quatrain on all major
tv news programs before the match against France and some of them even
did it with a Nostradamus book in their hands as if it was actually in
the book. I can't believe that in a planet of 6 billion people nobody
actually bothered to check if it was real or not. The bigger the lie
the easier it is to believe. I can't only imagine what kind of *****
we are feed with everyday if they can take a silly post in an internet
newsgroup and make it hard news.

Sounds like the American press before the Iraq invasion.
The bigger the lie
the easier it is to believe.
Sounds like the White House befor the Iraq invasion.

I'm guessing Bush will mention the Spanish championship in the next State of

Maybe somebody could make up another "Nostradamus quatrain"
and mail it to Fox News or some other media outlet. Or better yet,
start a rumor in a blog that Nostradamus wrote about Bush as "the
liberator of Iraq". Who knows, maybe Bill O'Reilly or Rush Limbaugh
will pick it up and mention it on their shows. :-)

Wow so it made it to the TV much before than expected. I hope you have
a recording of that. It would be incredibly funny. An RSS gem.

It reached the whole world. I've got the quatraine translated in hindi
from some Indian newspaper. It's kind of crazy. Probably I'll post
something in YouTube.

Since you mentioned it, I found at least three Indian sites that have
it. Unfortunately, all of them give credit to Spanish Media. A real
good find would be some site that treats it as if they found it (like
Spanish media :) )

It would be interesting to hear what Spanish players thought of it.
They must have surely heard it.

It looks like you are now the very well known author of an urban
legend. That's not very common. Sorry, got to go. The baby crocodiles
are beginning to come out of the toilet for their daily feeding...
