Oh, yeah, going running in the middle of the night is the only thing that works for me with this heat, so I can definetly sympathize.

I'll probably have nightmares from looking at that Barbie article. Keeping with the videogame/cosplay theme;

It's not a good combination for old people or already sick people, that's for sure.

I listened to "The internet if for porn" yesterday, and the damn song just will not get out of my head. I dreamt of it. It played during my morning bathroom visit. Breakfast. Walking the dogs, and also now as I sit here typing this out. >-<

An Empty Mind Is A Loyal Mind! Aw, man. I used to be able to recite the Cathechism of Xenos by heart, but I've been away from it for too long.

Valmet 76, right? Smexy. I'd have an AS Val though, I'm hearing impaired, and don't want to make it worse.

What ever happened to Krezak? Seems to be the kind of thing he would have loved Hippies smoke weed, hippies are vegetarians, vegetarians starve? See? Sence, I makes it.

Painted a few window frames and then built my fathers new computer, he bought the parts i picked for him. The salesman screwed him over with the chassis though. This does'nt equate "Plain and simple". -.- I really don't like putting together other peoples computers, because I'm poor and unemployed, so I'm really paranoid about breaking anything...

Here is a link to Steven Novellas breakdown at his blog, with links to the replications and other tidbits. I have'nt read it in a long time, because Steven is a neurologist and definetly writes like one, hence it's hard for a pleb like me to get into it quickly. I would like to state though, just for the record, that I want nothing more than healing to be true. Because I'm so frickin scared of going to the doctors that I get an anxious from even typing this out. And my wisdom teeth hurts, and I mean alot. And that's not even mentioning the (possible) seborrheic eczema I have. On my face.

There has been three replications of the biggest one of the nine studies that Bem published, all three were negative. So, yeah. Not replicated. And Bem by his own admission, manipulated the data aswell, so that it looked better. What else from what I remember hearing about it, the results of Bem's research was something like 53% hits when 50% would be random chance. It's not impressive enough to actually prove something this extraordinary. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. - Carl Sagan/Marcello Truzzi Or her kids witnessed the crime and told her about it. Good point, I had glossed over the kids and the fact they could have been involved. Would explain why the hell she brought her kids along corpsehunting.

Yeah, it could turn bad. I only skimmed over the wiki page, and saw them mention one 39-yo that died, but does anyone know if this is like the h1n1-virus and hits young people the hardest?

Fir crying out loud...

Animals. *giggle* *Scared*

What do you work with Wals?

It's quite possible that the psychic was coldreading the policeofficer while travelling. He might've paid extra attention to that house, and she noticed. *Shrug* Also, four days, in a shallow grave? Might've started smelling.

I don't know about Alan, but I'd close my curtains and tear out my webcam from the computer.

Yeah, time and time again, he's not even the best spoonbender anymore. I could recommend the Skeptics Guide to the Universe podcast if you want something to listen to, they routinely explain how most tricks are usually done and they also have alot of interviews with magicians that have alot of knowhow. Mostly geekery going on though. Sylvia Brown had a major miss where she predicted that Amanda Berry was dead and drowned, causing her mother to stop searching for her. Has'nt stopped her one bit though, and it is'nt the first major miss she's had either. So it also causes alot of harm in some cases.

Well, there is no plausible way for it to work to start with. Then there is the fact that there are ways to do it without any supernatural/paranormal influences, entertainers from all around the world has been doing these things for centuries, if not millenia. The numerous cases you talk about are badly done tests, and completely uncontrolled (There are no measures to make sure they did'nt have any prior knowledge, for instance), there have been many tests done on psychics over the world and none have stood up to the challenge. They are fraudsters and I seriously doubt there will ever be any proof of any paranomal claim done by anyone, and I think they are immoral people - especially the ones that claim to be able to talk to the dead, and interfere with the normal grieving process.

Or she witnessed it. A million dollars says she can't replicate anything similar to this, and I predict, if she does'nt go to jail herself, that she will ride this to her own fame and fortune - whilst phoning in tips to the police that waste manpower and resources investigating her claims.

Audiophile, need I say more? =) He bought it in the early 90's aswell, when it was on "sale". He's spent thousands of dollars on his amps and speakers. I'm hearing impaired, so I probably can't tell the difference between CD and LP if there was'nt dirt on the vinyl. Still, recording vinyls for neighbours and friends parents gives me some pocketchange and I get to listen to (mostly) ****ty music. Edit; Now that I thought about it, my father nearly got an heartattack.

I can't say it any other way than aluminium, since Swedish also use the correct spelling of the name. You also left out the classics, colour and armour. On an unrelated note, I think I just avoided a minor heartattack when the new cat jumped ontop of my fathers LP player... Had he broken it, I'd... get broken myself. And broke too. Frickin two thousand dollar pick-up. :S

I'm more interested in the way Deep Silver/Koch Media is suddenly popping up constantly on my radar, first with the saints row/volition business, this and probably a few things I'm forgetting. I think they handle Planetside 2 EU accounts too, right? Funny how they use "publisher" in the articles title for what is essentially a distribution deal.

Thank you kindly. My bedroom window faces the other direction, the picture is facing straight south, so you get awesome sunsets over the water. In the other direction there are some fields, hills and trees, I can't actually see the other lake that is in that direction. Sunsets at the jetty/dock with a beer are pure win though. The downside is that this house is built in the early 1800's, and the quality is ... uh... well, kind of good after standing for 200 years - but there isn't a straight line anywhere. ^^

Sorry, I did'nt know that. I've learned English from my Canadian relatives, TCC, Ultima V and Test Drive - so it's a horrible mix of different sources of influence. When I started learning English at school the teachers ignored me, just because I had a basic grasp of the language, so I had to make do. Yeti? Well... My uncle does sometimes go skinny dipping. That's got to be close enough to a missing link. And far, far more terrifying... And there are hills around here. http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f220/Azdeus/DSC00115.jpg Some yankee bastard bought most of the forest on the other side and proceeded to clearcut it, you can see the beginnings of it in the image. He bought it, clearcut it, then sold it again. If I had a gun... I've not even seen a fox here otherwise, we've got moose though. Lots of them. And deer. Scary stuff!

Here in Sweden, when it comes to sewage water treatment, you don't even have to hook it up to a treatment plant. I know this due to rebuilding/restoration efforts. My septic tank has a drainage for the urine/feces-water just goes into the ground. If you don't live in the mountains, the sand and soil will deal with that and you get a truck to take care of the more solid things. This obviously does'nt cover diapers or plasticbags ofcourse, but the least of your worries is the feces. Anyway, something that annoys me is the flourecent lightbulbs and LED power saving lights that are around nowadays, and the normal lightbulbs are just plain gone. I hate the type of light that comes from flourecent lightbulbs, not to mention that they take forever to light up. And I don't save any money from them during the wintertimes, since I have eletrical heating in my house. I'll agree with the scaretactics, it's annoying to all hells, especially when you concider that scared straight efforts does'nt work. It took me 5 minutes to remember the word feces... :<
