I don't know about YOU, but this one really makes me THINK, and shudder. (I'm not trying to be a doomsdayer, or anything. I just find prophesy completely fascinating, though I'm not sure how much I believe in it.)
******************************************************
In the City of York there will be a great collapse,
Two twin brothers torn apart by Chaos, while the
fortress falls, The great leader will succumb, The
third big war will begin when the big city is burning.
~Nostradamus, 1654

I'e seen this circulating, and it really seemed like waay too much of a coincidence, even for ol' Nosty.
So I turned to one of my beacons of truth in world full of chaos and lies.

Heh! Homer, you kill me! :-)
Actually, that shit PISSES ME OFF. The reason I posted that was because I would have NEVER believed that someone would have *edited* a Nostradamus prediction. Who would do this? That's like editing a bible verse to suit your own purposes! (Oh wait, people HAVE done that...) :-)
Honestly, what is the intent here? Do people *want* WWIII, so they are trying to get people worked up reading this, hoping that they will just ACCEPT that WWIII is inevitable? If so, these people are just as dangerous as any ole terrorist.
My apologies for the original post. :-)

Fang is da sissop. The details of why this is are a little... *sketchy,* but that's just how it goes.

Yup. For years I used to use the handle/nickname/spoodonym "Beinfang" for no real good reason at all, but I will point out that it is an accidental misspelling of "Bienfang," which is a brand of sketch paper.
No, I don't sketch.
Hmmm. Seems kinda silly in retrospect.

Okaaaaaaaaay.
The reason I ask?
Well, auf Deutsch, loosely translated, it would mean "the hunt for leg" (or "leg-hunt"). Yup. No lie. (Sounds better than *sketch paper*, no?)
Beinfang, you dawg!

The truth is, like, OUT THERE, maaan.
I believe that everyone has a political bone to pick, and that everyone retells the same story differently. And I believe that some people aren't willing to leave well enough alone, when it comes to elaborating on their version of the tale.

Nope, you're wrong, Homer.
And I always used to tell people who asked, Beinfang was Spanish for "Good Teeth".
But "Leg Hunter" has such a nice ring to it.

I like Leg Hunter better meself.
So, is anyone wondering why there are American military planes flying in and out of Germany, nonstop 24/7? A friend who lives near an air base has been reporting the flurry of activity. Hmmm.
I think somethin' BEEG is goin' down.

Well, if it were legitimate, it'd be legitimate... *Nostradamus.*
