Predictive Powers

Been spending the night watching Nostradamus: 500 Years Later (more info here) and a Decoding the Past episode mostly about Edgar Cayce. This stuff is genius. Best parts so far:

Nostradamus discusses an evil presence called Mabus. With a little manipulation, this easily becomes OSAmabusH, proving that Nostra predicted 9/11. BUT, not everyone believes in Nostra's quatrains. Some scientists are skeptical. Enter the publisher of Skeptic Magazine!!! No joke.

Then, in discussion of Edgar Cayce's brilliant powers of medical diagnosis, something he know absolutely nothing about, we see the New York Times headline: "Illiterate Man Becomes a Doctor When Hypnotized."

Watch the History Channel.
