BIENVENU !!!


BIENVENU !!!

WELCOME to the University of Paris Website (UPW)


You have reached the website of the Research Department of the University of Paris (La Sorbonne) which is currently translating into English the recently discovered book of quatrains authored by Michel De Nostradame, commonly known as Nostradamus, the 16th century French seer known for his prophecies of major world events. Entitled "Le Prophecies de Sporte" ("Sports Picks"), the new book contains numerous 4-line poems thought to predict the outcome of future sporting events.

We are working hurriedly to translate and interpret this important work. Each week we hope to release a new quatrain which we will post here.

OUR NEWEST RELEASE: Quatrain 231 - “The Commissar”

The Commissar unleashes his dark dogs,
only to see them turn tail and run,
fearing the approaching tsunami
bearing Neptune’s porcine pet.

ANALYSIS: Quatrain 231 is believed to predict the outcome of the NFFA Week 10 game between Commissioner Willie D. Money’s East Nashville Black Dogs and Triki Bobber’s Fidalgo Island Sea Hogs, which game takes place this weekend.

PREDICTION: Take the Sea Hogs.

SCORECARD: Nostradamus is 2 – 0, having correctly predicted the Sea Hogs victory over the West Nashville Beelzebubbas in Week 8 and the Sea Hogs victory over the Cambridge Animals in Week 9.


PREVIOUSLY RELEASED QUATRAINS (most recent first):

Quatrain 912:
From out of the ashes
three men shall arise
from the effects of yohimbe
their pokers reach for the skies.

Quatrain 69: “The Animal”
Neither vegetable nor mineral, the pretender lays in wait
hoping to repeat his past triumph,
but he is no match for the tusked fish
that will tear him a new one.

Quatrain 220:
In the eighth week of the sixth season,
the Hogs of the Sea shall rout the Brothers of the Devil
and send them scurrying back
to the fiery depths from whence they come.
