The Syllabus
Paris-Sorbonne University, a prestigious world class center of intellectual fire power does not suffer fools gladly, sadly, or any other way. If you want to do fortune telling get thee to a local strip mall and set up shop -- or go anywhere -- just not to the Sorbonne.
Dr. Nostradamus presented the English series of his lectures consistent with this syllabus as an outline and framework for discussion.

Review and Conclusion.
Over the course of seven days lectures originally scheduled for two hours soon lasted far beyond, even into the early morning hours. The number of attendees grew to standing room only, then spilled out into the halls.
Dr. N could give a lecture on assembling IKEA furniture and fill an auditorium full of Nobel prize winning thinkers.
It was at this lecture series that I started to think that maybe Michel de Nostradamus really was Merlin.
Ingrid was sure of it.
Dixi.
