The Prophecies of Bruce de Nostradamus Bruce de Nostradamus (1507-1579) was the younger brother of the French apothecary and prophet Michele de Nostradamus, who wrote Les Propheties, a book of predictions detailing the future of humanity up to the year 3797. Bruce Nostradamus is not as famous as his older brother, partly because his quatrains were not very good (they didn't rhyme, did not always consist of four lines, and often didn't make sense), and also because he was not as skilled at astrology as his older and smarter brother. In addition, he is known to have plagiarized several verses from his brother's work. He starts his predictions where his brother left off, at Century 13. A popular belief is that unlike his brother, who used a form of of divination known as judicial astrology to make predictions, Bruce de Nostradamus obtained his predictions from an Apple iPhone that somehow turned up, along with some mysterious T-shirts, in his villa in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence in the south of France in August of 1566. This theory may explain his reaction of utter bafflement he expresses about some of his own predictions. Bruce de Nostradamus is famous for saying, "A wand in the hand is worth two in the bush," which he published in a book titled Bruce's Almanach & pronostication pour l'an 1553. On les vend a Lyon par Francoys et Benoist Chaussard frères demeurât près nostre dame de Confort. Fin pour les livres en retard trois francs par jour. His quote about the "wand" is generally interpreted as a criticism of his brother Michele's excessive use of distinctively-shaped accessories such as magic wands, candles, and sex toys to make predictions, and reflects the feelings of intense rivalry between these two siblings. The aphorism was later adapted and modified by the American inventor Benjamin Franklin. While his brother's work often tended toward eschatology, Bruce de Nostradamus' work was notable for his extensive use of scatology.

[1] The irony of calling his own brother a bastard seems to have escaped Bruce de Nostradamus.
[2] Like his brother, Bruce de Nostradamus often used other languages to obscure his meaning. However, in this quatrain, Bruce de Nostradamus clearly surpasses his brother by obscuring his prophecies in Klingon, a language that was not invented until 400 years after his death.
[3] Bruce Nostradamus's remarkable ability to predict the future is evident in this prophecy, where he bases his astrological predictions on the movements of Uranus, a planet which was not discovered until 1781, over 202 years after his death. Elsewhere, he even mentions the planet Clinton, a planet that has still not been discovered.
