You know, I remember many years ago I was watching Wimbledon and the commentators started talking about how this was supposed to be the date that the world ends according to Nostradamus and that organizers of Wimbledon said how this will be bad because for the first time the Wimbledon won't end. They also said how some famous fashion designer (I don't remember the name anymore) is a big believer in Nostradoofus that he even closed his stores for that day in expectation that the world will end.
And I thought, "Finally! Everyone will shut up about Nostradoofus because the world won't end and his writings are finished because he wouldn't predict the future beyond the date after which he thought that the world would end."
But... There are still "predictions" and people forgot about the failed end of the world prophecy.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
