Seems like something a quatrain could address!

When the eclipse of the Sun will then be

The tin islands of St. George half sunk

It will be seized and plunged into the Vat

Before and after Mars to reign by good luck

You would think he could at least save some for a rainy day and only post one per day.

He's making me think too hard.

Longacre?

Has Nostradameus predicted when Longacre will run out of questions?

Yes, he did. He said it would occur between World War V and the successful manned mission to Jupiter.

I believe it is supposed to happen the day after global warming ACTUALLY affects our lives. (Note: I live in Tucson, AZ. It is may 23. We will not hit 70 degrees today)

When all of the world's beaches run out of sand.

Nostradamus was eerily silent on the issue. The Pyramid Texts addressed it, however;

323a. The abomination of N. is to walk in darkness,

323b. lest he see those who are upside down.

323c. N. will come forth in this day; he will bring truth with him.

323d. N. will not be delivered up to your flame, O gods.

I remember just yesterday when I was speaking to old nostradamus and he told me that Longacre would run out of questions on Tuesday, July lrghlrgn..rt;mer.urr...........................

Personally, I hope Longacre's inquisitive mind keeps churning for a long time. His questions are frequently among the most insightful and thought provoking on these boards.

As for Michel Nostradamus, the 16th century French author of rhymed gibberish – well, that kind of answers the question….

Nostradamus spent so much time thinking about this one, he got worked up into a frenzy...

Longacre · May 23, 2008 10:08AM

I am not sure. I have been busy of late, and actually got in a bit of trouble with the boss today for using the "frenzy" word. I told him that I figured out a way to return EUR 89 MM to the US tax free from the Netherlands and Spain, and said that I discussed it with my colleagues who is always complaining about having cash trapped offshore. I said that my colleague was whipped up into a frenzy when I told him about my plan. My boss thought that was a bad thing and actually said, "why was he so mad at you?? Your idea is exactly what we need."

The Man can be silly sometime.

PS. I have not nearly scratched the question surface.

When Hades freezes over, natch.

RWB · May 23, 2008 10:22AM

PS:
Longacre, I got your email about the bank cheque and will deposit the € 89 million to my account right away, then send you the € 80 million keeping the balance for my trouble and postage.

Thanks again for this great business opportunity. Why is your return address Lagos, Nigeria? Have you and the missus lately moved? I hope it is not far to a Tiffany’s outlet.

Frenziedly.....

The Mayan's seemed to think we'd all run out of questions around 2012.

Even old N. had his limitations.

Echo what RWB said. If Longacre could actually answer his own questions he would have a dynamite book on his hands.

As for when he will stop, that is pretty easy to answer. If you look at when they are all posted most of them seem to be during normal business hours
