Beasts ferocious with hunger will cross the rivers,
The greater part of the battlefield will be against Hister.
Into a cage of iron will the great one be drawn,
When the child of Germany observes nothing.
(Century 2, Quatrain 24)

Years later those who believe in such things as Mayan calendars and Nostradamus believed the Hister to mean Hitler. So I think we can leave Nostradamus out of things.... and Mayan calendars too.

From what I have read, he changed his name from 'Hister' to 'Hitler' because he knew the Germans would never accept him if he had a Mayan name.

I think they were referring to Charlie Chaplin. Who knew he was a Mayan?

When I was growing up my mother taught me to never trust a man with a mustache. so i married a man with a mustache, and he is very trustworthy. so to my mom.

I have heard a man with a mustache can be trusted as long as his wife has a mustache.

I was immediately freaked out when I first heard about that LHC...

No! You have no idea what they are doing. Oh look Chicken Little................the sky is falling. If you lack the intellect required to understand very simple information, like the age of the earth et al, you have no place discussing the LHC. Go back to discussing the importance of various fairy tales.
