Most of Nostradamus' prophecies were written in code, the usual way of 'solving' them was to rearrange the letters of the whole prophecy until it spelt something else, with a few left over. Not once, during the entire history of this, did anyone stop to think why these incredibly accurate 'hidden' prophecies, worked, and why they were only even decyphered AFTER the event

Arthur C Clarke changed one of the prophecies to predict the release of 2001, there were 5 letters left over, B-O-L-I-X, which Mr Clarke described as the most accurate outcome of this technique
