I found physics to be a challenging but ultimately enjoyable subject.

None but I'm pretty sure they're all hacks, some more dangerous than others.

I'm very suspicious of where and from whom/what they get their information.

Well, yesterday I discovered that I am, in fact, psychic, so I have had some experience with psychics, being one myself. I put some bread in the toaster hoping to have some nice toast at around 11:30, and I walked away for a while while the bread toasted. Then I had this strange feeling that the toast was going to pop, so I went back to the kitchen, and JUST as I walked in, the toast popped. The same thing happened this morning when I was making the toast that I had for breakfast. And it's not because I know the amount of time it takes for my toaster to cook, as it is brand new, and was on different settings each time.



On a similar note, I also realized yesterday that there are ghostly types in my house. Yesterday was an odd day. I had just finished wiping off the counter, and there were no marks on it. I turned around to put away the rag, and as soon as I turned back, there was a white mark in the shape of an oval with a hole in the center and a gap in one side. I wiped it up, and it came off fine. An hour later, I went back down to get some toast, as stated in the previous story, and guess what! The exact same white mark was back in the exact same place!

I've had a most intriguing encounter with one. She first greeted me with my full name (!), and the part of the year I'm born, she also knew my 'social status'. She had this little kart, inside it was stifling hot (she insisted on burning herbs or something to make her more clearvoiant) and mysteriously dark. After the seer had held my hand she could too tell me a lot about my childhood. Also what I was in my former live, as she called it, I was presumably a Jarl answering to one of land's former kings. She predicted a lot of things, and also knew a lot about my future plans; from which she predicted. She acctually knew many of my future plans just by 'meditating' (don't know what else to call it). I'm not really sure wether to belive her, but based on her astounding knowledge of me without having the slightest prospect of gathering any information about me, I think I do. I hope she is right indeed.

I had a psychic feeling that psychic banner ads would soon appear on TB, soon to be followed by inane psychic threads...

WOW that is insane. The banner says 100% accurate HOROSCOPE, Test her skills for free, Find out why she is so different blah bla. That's like wow. I can't belive the banners are picked by chance, it happens too often. I'll have to screenshot this. It's like that gay-thread my guitarist made, and it was gay dating banners. On the topic about the guy just divorced going on a date, where was banners to get get your FIllipinian beauty today o.O And many, many more. And now this! LOL!

You don't have to be Psychic to read information from people, Darren Brown is an excellent Example of this. Always remember Occam's Razor.

Edit:Aaiieeee beat me to it.

my mom actually does readings (this **** is weird, she basically meditates and it looks likes she's sleeping but she has a pad of paper and a pen and it's going to town writing pages and pages about a person where she only knows the name and never met the person, and not in her handwriting either, when she's done she closes the book and doesn;t open it untill the person is there for the reading.) ,

healings, biggest one i can think of was when my dad caught a virus that killed part of his heart, almost like a heart attack but not quite, he did a healing on him in the hospital and now his heart is 100%, other than that i've seen her relive pain and small things like that.

and ghost investigations, she has a lot of great stories and i've seen some strange things when i've went, then again some are just plain boring.
pretty interesting stuff.

She also gave sandra bullock a reading, i'd give her a reading too.

Hahaha, the banners are definitely not random. The Ad software searches the page for keywords and then searches for Ads based on those keywords, that is why all these "coincidences" keep happening.

most of the folks i know have been to psychics with great experiences. however, i was approached by a psychic lady on the streets who told me i was going thru some conflict in my life (and who isn't?). then she told me it was about my love life, at which i laughed heartily and wished her a good day.

+1 on the "cold reading". The guy in the video is really good. I have a friend that is great at reading people he doesn't know after a few minutes and reading friends of his almost immediately. I have asked him how he gets in tune with people like that. "I pay attention" is his answer.

None.

News like these confirm my view on those charlatans.
