Question:*****
I know I go - I know I'm free
I know that this will come to be.
Secreted this - for this will be
Found by later dynasty

A dairy maid, a bonny lass
Shall kick this stone as she does pass
And five generations she shall breed
Before one male child does learn to read.

This is then held year by year
Till an iron monster trembling fear
eats parchment, words and quill and ink
And mankind is given time to think.

And only when this comes to be
Will mankind read this prophecy
But one mans sweets anothers bane
So I shall not have burned in vain.

Mother Shipton (1488-1561)

Another oracle confirming the 2012 thing?

Like Nostradamus, she was good at predicting the past... I mean, these prophets and prophetesses' oracles are proven right after the event, and wrong before.

Sorry for being such a Cartesian.

One does wonder. Perhaps...or...then again, perhaps not.

Wow, I may be finished with my laundry by then--hopefully--Hahah!
