Sorting Hat

Unfortunately, the author also has this site.

http://fork-you.com

She actually believes that she (and others) can bend cutlery with their minds.  Well, she claims that she "softens" them with her mind and then bends them with her hands.  No, I'm not kidding!  Visit the website, IF you can stop laughing long enough to read it.  To her, Uri Geller is right and James Randi is wrong.  However, she thinks that both are in it for the money.  Well, it's rather interesting that they seem to be able to bend (or soften) forks and spoons (at their thinnest and weakest points), but they never seem to do this to knives.  Hmmmmm...  In any case, her "explanation" on why it doesn't work for some is that they are trying it alone.  The proper way is with a group of people and to dim the lights.  Obviously, dimming the lights is better for channeling and has nothing to do with the manipulation of the fork or spoon when no one can see.  Why can't they bend cutlery alone with the lights on?  Again, her explanation is that being in a laboratory with the lights blazing isn't conducive.  Something about "performance anxiety."  So basically, there's just no scientific way to test whether anyone can bend cutlery with their minds.  Well isn't that a revelation!

'Nuff said.

By the way, James Randi has his million dollar challenge at this site:

One Million Dollar Paranormal Challenge

In case you're interested, not one applicant has made it past the preliminary stage.  As of May 1, 2005, there have been 306 FAILED applications; usually withdrawn by the applicant when they find out they can't stage the event just the way they want.



Lunatics

The only major problem with the Perpetual Calendar are the month names.  One month is to be named "Uranus."  That's gonna go over real well!  I'd take "X-ray" over "Uranus" any day.

Don't know why an intelligent idea like a perpetual calendar also has this associated with it from the same website.

Instead of using the standard week of seven days, this moron wants to change the weeks to have either 6, 7, 8 or 9 days, depending on lunar months.

You HAVE to read what this idiot wants to name the months. Talk about lunatics.  Google each of the names; the author claims that they are all:

"pioneers in (or at least contributors to) research in the area of consciousness enhancement by means of psychoactive plants or chemicals."

In plain, non-bullshit English, they're drug addicts. Practically every one of these "pioneers" has used LSD and one of them INVENTED the crap! Oh yeah! That's gonna go over well with the intelligent people of the world! "Hey, what month is it; LSD, Heroin, or Crack?" "Uh, not sure; I think it's Quaalude or Meth."

And the ones that aren't dope addicts? Well, they're just plain dopey. They're MARXISTS! Quick, name the form of government that has caused the death of more people than any other? You guessed it: Marxism, Leninism, Socialism; slash-and-burn politics that has caused so much misery and suffering. I can't believe that anyone actually thinks that Socialism is a viable form of government.

Why is it that these "scientists" gravitate to Socialism? Do they think they'll get more "freedom" under totalitarian socialism? Remember, when any totalitarian regime is in charge, the first people they kill or imprison are the scientists and educators. Why? Because they are inquisitive by nature teach people to think and ask questions. Socialist governments CANNOT have their people thinking, otherwise they'll think "why am I in such misery and why are the leaders such elitists?" Does that happen in capitalist societies? Sure. But with capitalism there is a way to move from the lowest segments of society to the highest segments of society. It's called the Middle Class! Socialism has no such thing. You are pigeon-holed and you stay there. Winston Churchill said it best:

"The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of misery."

'Nuff said.
