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.
ERRATA: La Sorbonne scholars have determined that “mistakes were made” in the analysis of Nostradamus’ Quatrain 231 entitled, “The Commissar.” The quatrain states:
The Commissar unleashes his dark dogs,
only to see them turn tail and run,
fearing the approaching tsunami
bearing Neptune’s porcine pet.
It was reported here that Quatrain 231 predicted the outcome of the NFFA Week 10 game between the Sea Hogs and the Black Dogs. However, further research has revealed that the quatrain actually predicted the outcome of the 1912 championship game of the Moscow Soccer League between the Moscow Wolfhounds and the St. Petersburg Sturgeon. The Sturgeon defeated the Wolfhounds 6 to 2.
The Wolfhounds were the favorite team of the Commissar of Moscow, Vassily Dmitri Rubles. Sturgeon are known for their porcine characteristics, such as their porkish flavor and their habit of rooting around in the mud of the sea floor in search of food. The mistake was regrettable, but understandable, given the similarities of the competitors in the games.
La Sorbonne has made changes in its procedures to insure that such mistakes will not occur again.
In other news, La Sorbonne announced today the resignation of Pierre LePieu as chancellor of the university. La Sorbonne is accepting applications for the position from qualified candidates.
