[WEB4LIB] nostradamus hoax

[Aidan_Sheridan at cityofportmoody.com]

All of the prophecies from Nostradamus contain four lines and are coded
with a Century number and a Quatrain number.  He used these as codes or
reference numbers.  Any legitimate Nostradamus prophecy will always be in
this format.  There are some references in this hoax prophecy to several
different real prophecies, but not one single prophecy.  Also, it is dated
Nostradamus 1654 and Nostradamus died in 1566.

We've had patrons looking for info. on Nostradamus because of a chain
letter claiming that Nostradamus predicted the events in NYC. Before
you knock yourself out looking up this prediction, be advised
that this is another Internet hoax.  Shocking, right? Here's a little
info. to pass along about the hoax:
