Nostradamus Effect
– -The end is near!– -At least that’s what the doomsday predictions from Nostradamus, the Book of Revelation, the Mayan “long count” calendar and many others would have us believe. A new show on The History Channel, Nostradamus Effect, examines end-of-time predictions from cultures across the globe, questioning whether they constitute inspired visions or crackpot conspiracy theories.
Now Michel de Nostradamus was a 16th century French physician and astrologer whose name is synonymous with apocalyptic visions of the near and distant future…kinda the gold standard for that type of thing. But we furries have our future-predicting psychic seers, too!
One such is Nostradalmatian, a canine seer seen in the comic strip Get Fuzzy by Darby Conley.- -Don’t you believe in Nostradalmatian’s uncanny powers?!–Oh, he knew that you were going to say that!!!

Who needs Nostradamus? They predicted that date back during the two-part series finale of X-FILES!

God, I miss the glory days of the X-Files, especially when Fox Mulder was there!

Seriously, though: wouldn’t all a psychic Dalmatian be _able_ to see is spots before his eyes?
