If an event made headlines for more than a few weeks, rest assured that someone, somewhere, is holding up a copy of Nostradamus' 400 year old tome and claiming that he knew it would happen all along.
Nostradamus - or Michel DE Notredame, as he was known - began his career as an apothecary and plague doctor.
And unless you're Nostradamus, this is a formidable challenge.
Nostradamus had gout, which by 1566 turned to edema.
However, Nostradamus was purposefully vague and cryptic in each of his predictions, leaving them open for interpretation.
Born in France, in 1503, Michel DE Nostradame A.K.A Nostradamus was a physician, astrologer and a fluent speaker of Greek, Latin and Hebrew.
Baba Vangas's prophecies made her famous; probably not as famous as Nostradamus, but still, for a humble, illiterate, blind Bulgarian she made headlines all over the world.
