We all know who Nostradamus is.
Famous for all his prophecies that have come true, the big N (as I like to call him) has stunned the world for decades, nay centuries, with his perfect predictions of world events, developments and disasters. And just when you think all his prophecies have come true (or not), another one pops up to stun you again.
But this story isn’t about Nostradamus. It’s about a five year old girl who lives in New Orleans who I have surreptitiously named Nostradamus Girl and who (let’s be honest)…cost me some hard earned cash.

I once knew a guy who would incessantly walk around the office on Fridays and everytime he’d walk past a female co-worker he’d say, “Hey! There’s my girl Friday!” and when the ladies would give him a strange look of sad desperation he would say, “You know. Friday. You’re a girl. Girl Friday is also a famous line from, uh, something?” He took all the excitement out of Friday and ruined the best day of the week as successfully and unknowingly as he could.
I try to forget about this individual on days like today. And WFYE sort of does the trick.
