Isn't it ironic that you closed-minded dunderheads blindly follow a man who looks just like Santa Claus?!

The only REAL fool is someone who believes only what his eyes tell him.

300 years of science and relentless technological progress strongly suggests that we have reality pretty much figured out. What we now know allows no room for the supernatural.
 
Weee, I had a psychic vision that Ian would be the first person to post on this thread!

Please send me my million dollars now.

Randi doesn't look like Sants Claus. I agree with the fool believes only what their eyes tell them. So much of what we know is not visible to eyes.
 
There are just too many psychics for telepathy not to be real.

In a related matter, if enough people believe something enough, it IS reality. Quantum mechanics proves this. Therefore, up until a few hundred years ago, the Earth was flat. Then someone thought it was round and convinced enough other people that it was round, and the Earth became round. I'm skeptical of the the "100 Monkeys" theory, though. I think it takes a little more than 100 but then since a lot of people believe in the 100 Monkey Theory then maybe THERE ARE ENOUGH who believe it that it is reality and it really does only take a 100 people to change reality. I hope nobody starts a meme that it only takes 10 monkeys it could get really weird aroudn here. Ha! Ha! Ha! I think skeptics already beleive that if TEN OF THEM say something isn't so, then it isn't so. Ha! Ha! Ha! Good thing THEY AREN't IN CHARGE! I be t 100 of them cant agree on anything. So they are wrong, wrong, wrong about reality all the tiem.
 
I only believe in what i can touch, feel, smell and see...and what can be proven beyond reasonable doubt...

I know what I know and I know what I have seen and I don't know what it is so of course it is supernatural. And NO I don't want evidence and tests because I have an opened mind.

It´s true :)

Jeebus, Luke, STFU. It's scary when you write like that.

On the other hand, I was tempted to nominate your response for the Language Award, but that contest is fixed, so why bother. It's a conspiracy, I tell ya.
 
My friend's horse got cured by homeopathy. She was nervous and now she is calm, so homeopathy MUST be true, because it was a horse that got cured and so the "placebo effect" would not work on her, because the horse did not know we were using homeopathy. So there.
 
Psychics really can talk to the dead! How else would they know the dead people's names or their hobbies or how they died? And even if they can't, they still help people through the grieving process and give them hope.

(Gah! I feel so dirty!)
 
Everybody has a soul, otherwise we would all be sociopaths. It makes so much sense, the very notion that I don't have a soul makes me want to kill someone.

It's true :)

Heh, that's the funniest thing I've read all day. :)
 
Astrology really works only you have to know the exact longitude and latitude and exact time of birth (to the minute) to figure it out. It may not have to do with the planets and stars but it works anyway.
It's true :)

Randi does not resemble Santa Claus in the least. Not the Real Santa Claus.

For lo! I am Santa Claus; I created the world to amuse me; I created people so I would have someone for whom to make toys; I created the Easter Bunny as a clever ruse to save money on chocolate (hint: wait until the Monday after Easter for big $aving$!); I created Randi as a worthy foil for my erratic, yet oddly endearing, brilliance; and I created Interesting Ian to provide tech support.

*shrug* Okay, so I need more practice. I'll wipe this universe and have another go at it tomorrow.
 
Magnets just have to influence the human body in some way. It's been demonstrated that lots of magnetic energy - in the order of tens of thousands of tesla - can actually affect a person's blood pressure and heart rate. And considering that the blood is virtually made up of iron, it's impossible to think magnets would have no effect.

Besides, it's a big industry. I can understand how a few people could be wrong, but hundreds? Thousands? Close minded skeptics simply don't want to consider this.

In fact, I have a coco-pop stuck in my ear right now. And do you know how I'm going to get it out? Yep.

People have been writing about homosexuality for thousands of years, which is how we know that there have been gay people as long as there have been people.

People have also been writing about ghosts for that same length of time. Therefore ghosts must be real!

Paint mixing machines destroy the world's harmony by emitting what I like to call "vibrations."

Speaking of which: whenever I open a can of paint, my hands make the sign for a color -- but not necessarily the color of that paint; ohhhh, no, that would be too simple.

Crystals heal and cure all ailments, and Country Time Old Fashioned Lemonade-Flavored Drink Mix Crystals(tm) really do taste just like great old-fashioned lemonade. Why, just ask Gramps! He's a colorful, spry codger, and he ingests dissolved crystals every day.

Here is your horoscope for tomorrow. All zodiacal signs: When you read this the time will be exactly seven twenty-one AM. Set your watch now and save time later. Why not indulge your luxury-loving side for a change? Buy a yacht or two. Beware of grizzly bears, machete-wielding maniacs wearing blue neckties, and long-serving IRS auditors. That hunch of yours is right. No, it's left. Now it's right again! Hey, hold on... you're Marty Feldman in the role of "Igor" in "Young Frankenstein," aren't you? Stop that. Your lucky color is puce. Your lucky number is the first odd perfect number -- it's time to play lotto and win! Finally, don't climb into any steaming, freshly opened seismic crevasses without consulting your numerologist first.
