Heh, I'll keep my mouth shut.

Some of the most sensible people on TV.

I do have a mom's intuition.

James Randi once noted that anyone who actually believed in telekinesis would seal a laser pointer and a lightweight Mylar mirror in a mason jar, then ask prospective telekinetics to jiggle the mirror from across the room. Any actual telekinesis would cause the laser dot to jump wildly.

Instead, "researchers" roll millions of dice. This would seem quite illogical-even if you had a telekinetic "finger", how could you see how dice were going to land fast enough to give them a "poke"?- until you start considering it from a researcher employment perspective. Millions of dice allow patterns to form by random chance, allowing millions of pages of otherwise totally worthless papers to be written and accepted by parapsychology departments. The only purpose of the experiment is to generate random noise and hide the lack of results.

I often feel similarly about legislatures declaring National Pickle Week or somesuch.

Because there are wackos who claim to be able to solve crimes. PK's father was interviewed, and talked about how they bombarded him during the search for the girl.

re: #23 pre-Boomer Marine brat

Vultures.

UNC 23/Duke 19 ten minutes into 1st half

To this day I am filled with regret that I blew off Penn & Teller when they requested to use my stuff for their show.

Years ago, I was contacted by a television producer who wanted to use various zombietime photos and videos for an upcoming new show to be called "Bullshit!" They seemed sincere, but the name of the show just seemed not possible to me: No way could a show with a title like that be on TV, I thought to myself. (I was completely ignorant of cable TV and its standards at that time; I've still never seen cable, but I've since learned that swearing is no longer verboten [?!?!?].)

Anyway, I convinced myself that the "producer" was just trying to pull some kind of hoax on me, and that there never will be a show called "Bullshit!", so I stopped communicating with that person. Just cold, cut them off.

A year later, I heard that the show was indeed real, and it was forehead-slap time.

For all I know, they used my material anyway (this was a long time ago, before I wised up and started charging the MSM for my stuff), because I think I wrote at one point, before I became convinced it was fake, "Why are you asking me? Just take whatever you want and use it."

I rarely regret anything, but this is one of them.

I predict the stock market will commence to tank on Monday.

I remember sitting in front of the TV, spoon in hand, concentrating as Uri Geller tried to get everyone watching the Tonight Show to bend spoons with their mind.

I think I was eight.

Me too. Part of this is the ethical question about what resources are expended at the end of life.

I seriously doubt the boomers will go for the need to die stuff Obama will try (knowing full well he and his ilk are immune).

"I am picking up psychic energy..."
"The vibrations here reveal..."

That's my cue to disengage.

Whoo! Penn and Teller!
Seeing these guys do this show, I'm reminded of Harry Houdini, another stage magician and another national skeptic of paranormal phenomena. He was asked whether his own escape artist stunts were not the results of some sort of paranormal trick, and he responded to the effect of "Nope, my stunts are from my skill alone." Awesome!

The whole situation is really weird.

I remember being aware of them on my hand at a particular moment during the day.

Two hours later, when I went to take them off and put them away, they were not on my hand.

I have absolutely no recollection of taking them off and putting them anywhere. None. Zip. Zilch. Nada.

A neighbor of mine sent out an email, inviting us to pay her $80 to cook and eat dinner at her house. We would do the cooking. I figure that for $80, I can probably buy a dinner already cooked.
I wonder if it would go better if she taught psychic contact with the vegetables?

Pre-thought and crayons - cool!

re: #58 reine.de.tout

Man stopped me yesterday (driving up a country lane) asked if I had seen a small black dog. It was his father's dog, and had left the dog with his son. Took dog outside and dog ran away. Had been missing for 24 hours and grandpa was due home in two hours.

Helped him look for a little while.

Talk about panic.

re: #39 pat

I think we will learn the hard way that there are many more illegals than 10M

I think that 10 Million is low too. What we do know is that the majority have no employer sponsered healt coverage.
They heavily utilize the ER & that is almost always comped & passed on.
With coverage there will be an a crush of elective medical delivery.
That cost will contribute to rationing for the general population.

re: #53 Shay4l

Or...
Just ask yourself, "If I were my mom's wedding rings, where would I hide?" There they will be.

Yeah. Same idea, different way to put it.

The subconcious is like the computer controlling a missile or torpedo. It will crunch data until it finds the target which you've programmed into it, and then burps the answer up into the conscious.

Running around screaming and shouting, TRYING to find something, tends to override, or block out, the subconscious process.

If you wear glasses that blur your vision at the computer, look into getting some. (Pun intended)

Am getting ready to make a pot of chili on this rainy day. Whatchoo up too?

Mmmm ... chili ...

Relaxed most of the morning, took Lil Miss out to terrorize the 'hood, washed her down in the kitchen sink, then cooked a nice fragrant batch of meatball soup, loaded with garlic, tomatoes, vegs and spiked with chilies.

Folks, if you are really interested in learning how the professionals do ESP visit your local magic store and buy some books on an old carnival routine called "Cold Reading." If you don't want to spend the money watch instead "The Wizard of OZ" for an amusing take on the subject. It occurs just before Dorothy hits her head and is whisked off to OZ. The side-show professor gives her a "Cold Reading." And really that's all there is to it. I once saw "Psychic George" do his show in person and even after I explained to people how he did it, they didn't believe me. They want to believe.

I have a suspicion that I took the rings off while I was busy clearing up the kitchen, and before I got to put them away, I picked up and threw away something and the rings were in the same hand and got thrown out, too.

By the time the next day that I realized the rings were really missing, the trash was gone gone gone.

It's funny how these people remembering their past lives almost always come from a very well known period in history, and were almost always important figures or somehow related to them. In fact, I wonder if any hypnotherapists would ever admit to having multiple clients who claimed the same past life, or what proportion of their clients claimed to have had statistically probable but decidedly unglamorous roles such as starving peasant.

I've heard that if a computer is causing you eye strain, then a good trick is to take a break every half hour or so and spend several minutes focusing on a far-away point.
