 Hi, all. I wonder if any of you know of websites that track prophecy/prognositcators like Gordon Michael Scallion, Shawn David Morton, and Ed Dames? I'd love to get my hands (or eyes) on a really detailed list of what these guys have predicted over the years. Unfortunately, I have a life and so the time I am willing to spend tracking loonies is limited.
  Got any suggestions?
  Dog Ed

 A question. Psychics, let's say even if they truly believe what they are doing and sincerly want to help people.  They must know what they are saying at the time to someone in a 'reading' is nonsense.  How can they keep a stright face and tell that load of rubbish to people.

 Maybe all of the soothsayers went to acting school.  In this way, they learned to keep a straight face and put on an air of authority.  Perhaps people go to soothsayers in order to have something to do.  Perhaps it helps them get a sense of life which had been sorely lacking.  Perhaps the idea of making money has forced them to work on a *straight face*.  Psychics and soothsayers without a *straight face* are ex-psychics and ex-soothsayers, or at least they are very poor monetarily.

 Hey, if box scores for soothsayer/prophet types were available, perhaps there'd be a way to organize a betting pool.
 
 
  It is, because it isn't not, and that's the part that goes up. |
