Sigh...

I just read a diary on my friends social-networking page (it's called Mixi, but it's in Japanese only so not of much help to most of you) and he was talking about this Brazilian Nostradamus named Jucelino Nobrega de Luz, who has apparently predicted a 8.something magnitude earthquake about 20 km away from me on September 13th. I am shaking in my boots, of course :p, but I'd like to calm my Japanese friends down with some evidence of this jerk off's woo. Does anyone know of any good sources debunking him? I searched on google, but I just get skeptical blogs and a bunch of supporters, nothing really concrete.

I appreciate any help with this.... you guys would cry if you watched Japanese TV and all the woo that gets spread on there. It's really sad.

I wonder how many earthquakes happen on a daily basis in Indonesia...

Here's a little more about the Saddam claim mentioned in that JapanProbe.com article:

This guy seems to be a bit of a woo himself, but he does point out a couple predictions that your guy missed, and links to some supporting material:

Oh, here's a good lead. The Internet Wayback machine has at least part of his site archived back to February 2006. Dig around and see if you can find him retroactively altering his prediction pages!
