Who do you think was greater? Shakespeare or Nostradamus?

That Shakespeare feller didn't even speak no good English.

Shakespeare obviously though Nostradamus wrote some beautiful reads.

It was tough being Nostradamus's friend. You'd talk to him and he'd just sit there go, "I know. I know."

I didn't know either one of them, so I have no answer.

Nostradamus was full of shit.

Shakespeare

But someone should make a Nostradamus movie anyway.

Shakespeare is torture to read, and IMO, his stories are average at best. If he lived in the 20th century, he would have been a writer for a soap opera.

Nostradamus was a quack. Exactly zero of his predictions were ever applied to a happening *before* the event happened. He is the undisputed king of retrospect.

Consider this lyric written in the 1970s - some have said it clearly predicts the attack on the WTC:

Day is night in New York city
Smoke, like water, runs inside
Steel idle trees to pity
Every living thing that's died

If Nostradamus wrote that, I might be wondering. But the lyric is from the song Gonna Hitch a Ride by the 70s rock group Boston. When asked about they lyric, the songwriter said it had nothing to do with 9/11 but was actually about a person tired of living in NY and wanting to move to the more laid back California. In fact, the early demo of the song was called San Francisco Day.
