Urban legends and Nostra-dam-us!

As I mentioned, I don't do chain emails.... mass emails annoy me no end. They annoy me even more when they contain total bullshit. Crap. Baloney - which has no basis in truth whatsoever (and that seems to be the majority of chain emails which people still continue to forward around). Urban legends on the Net are about as prevalent as there us junk mail in my mailbox everyday (literally... everyday).

Anyhow, one that was floating around recently was about how Nostradamus had predicted the events in NYC... To anyone who wasted even a iota of their time in consdifering this to be true... please go read the press release issued by CSICOP on this - Hoax Nostradamus Quatrain About NYC Terrorist Attacks
which confirms the fallacy of these emails.

Better yet, go over and read the full explanations of why there are a hoax in the Urban Legends section of About.com - Nostradamus: Did Famed Seer Nostradamus Predict the World Trade Center Attack?. Have fun reading!
