...shot glass. The bartender cuts grass from a white plastic tray of growing stalks and puts it in a special metal grinder to get the juice. But this isn't just any grass, this is wheat grass, and it can perform miracles. It is a (take a deep breath) body building, energizing, appetite suppressing, antibiotic, deodorizing concoction that also helps anemia. But, the other bartender warned, it does make you feel a little nauseous...
...seek and ye shall find" method of prophesy-hunting. Nostradamus wrote 1,000 quatrains, so anything has got to be in there somewhere.

It rallies 100, pauses for its breath down to plus 30, and then rallies another 100, and it is clear by midday we will have a rout to the upside. Guys who passed on buying Citicorp at 105, and then 110, and then 115, and then 120, and then 125, reach for $128 stock. I personally moved Telebras 10 points in a futile attempt to buy 25,000 shares. At the bottom the screens simply failed to function...
