What an unattractive individual he was. Possibly more unattractive now that he's died, though.

Yes.

Man, that guy's so.... Ugh. He looks like he's a horror monster himself.

He wrote extremely well, however, as a human being himself, he was a monster. A violent bigot who blamed all of the world's problems on U.S. minorities.

What were his predictions of?

I couldn't find any on google after a few searches -- there was an article or essay that made a passing reference to "his writing seems to almost be a prediction of today's blah blah" something like that.

But i don't think he actually made a prediction, did he?

The irony of all this is he married a Jewish woman.

Did you also know that Nostrodamus (spelling I know) predicted that
there would be 3 Major species to live on this world, before it's final
destruction? Dino's being one and Man another, (however Man is
not the second but the THIRD!):smirk:

Haha
Nostradamus. Most of his stuff you can abstract enough to have some meaning today.

To bad most of Nostradamus' stuff has been messed up by popular culture. The man was interesting no doubt, but the fake quatrains and general misconceptions that float around his topic is just aggravating.

H.P. Lovecraft sounds interesting... but also a bit dark. Maybe I should read some of his works someday.
