Did Mother Shipton see the future?

[Curryman]

Ursula Southeil, aka Mother Shipton, was a soothsayer and prophetess born circa 1488 in a cave outside the town of Knaresborough in North Yorkshire, England. Below is a little bit from her prophesies.

You decide!!!

"Yet greater sign there be to see; As man nears latter century. Three sleeping mountains gather breath, and spew out mud, ice and death. An earthquake swallow town and town; in lands as yet to me unknown. And Christian one fights Christian two and nations sigh, yet nothing do. And yellow men great power gain; from a mighty bear with whom they've lain."

“The king shall false promise make; and talk just for talking's sake. And nations plan horrific war; the like as never seen before. And taxes rise and lively down; and nations wear perpetual frown.”

Not quite.

She should have described him "the man who wanted to be king"

Or was that Mother Shittedon, who was splattered from a great height by one of de Pfeffels ancestors?

Factamundo - I visited Mother Shipton's cave as a kid. Paul Daniels owned it. He came over and chatted to us. He was a big star back then in the 1980's. He was really nice. I had my pic with him next to his Ferrari outside. Number plate was MAG1C 1.
