Yeah, and he also predicted the end of the world in 1999

Hence the song, "Party like it's 1999"

As far as I'm concerned, there isn't anything about Nostradamus anyone should be taking seriously.

Edited to add that at Cal Tech's Nostradamus FAQ page they say this:

Question. Didn't Nostradamus say the world would end in (pick one) 1984, 1999, 2000, 2012?

Answer. Nostradamus clearly stated, in plain French that his prophecies would extend to the year 3797 ( See preface ). It is not clear whether this (or is not) the end or the world E.Leoni states: '.... this will be the year when the roll is called up yonder.' Keep in mind that this is Leoni's interpretation.
