BP Oil Spill: Is It The End of Days?

"Sol vingt de Taurus si fort terre trembler, 

Le grand theatre remply ruinera,
L'air, ciel & terre obscurcir & troubler,
Lors l'infidele Dieu & saincts voguera."

-Complete Prophecies of Nostradamus, Century IX, 83 

Translation:

"The sun being in the 20th of Taurus, the earth shall so quake,

That it shall fill and ruin the great theatre,

The air, the heaven and the earth shall be so obscured and troubled,

That unbelievers shall call upon God, and his saints."

To be honest, I feel prophecy and biblical signs is a crap shoot - it all depends on perspective and interpretation. However, this one, from the master prognosticator Nostradamus himself, is at the very least too compelling not to contemplate. Of course, like a lot of his prophecies, the "20th of Taurus" could have two interpretations:  either April 20th, which is the start of the Tauruan month, or May 10th, which is the 20th day of the Tauruan month. For the record though, the Deepwater Horizon rig explosion which caused the BP oil spill occurred on...drum roll...April 20th. But look at it this way...if this all comes to fruition, we won't have to wait until December 21, 2012. After all, why procrastinate the apocalypse when it can be done wholesale now?

Just sayin'...and thanks for all the fishes!

Some Say BP Oil Spill Heralds The Apocalypse

There's also this nice nugget of doom from two years ago - As if Things Weren't Bad Enough, Russian Professor Predicts End of U.S.. With the economic collapse, racial hate mongering and general bitter divisiveness that has emerged in the past few years - certainly, the "hope & change" envisioned, and no doubt applauded, by some Americans - it seems almost beyond just a prediction.

See ya in another life, brotha!
