Century 10, Quatrain 72
Here's the first 2 lines of that particular prediction:
L'an mil neuf cens nonante neuf sept mois,
Du ciel viendra vn grand Roy d'effrayeur:
Resusciter le grand Roy d'Angolmois,
Auant apres Mars regner par bon-heur.
Translation:
In the year 1999 and seven months
The Great King of Terror will come from the sky,
He will bring back to life the great king of Angolmois.
Before and after Mars reigns happily.
Many people were looking for worldwide catastophe or such based on this prediction July or September, 1999 (depending on the calendar one implemented). 1999 came and went.
I would chalk the change of date to 2001 in the translation posted up to another "internet hoax" -- much like the post on GWBush, (when in fact there was no such "IQ" study performed nor does the purported institute that did the study exist).
