We've all seen this before, but it seems to be the Energizer Bunny of the screw-ball set. Going and going and going......, and taken seriously by all too many.

Reminds me of this list from Shermer's Skeptic site:
If People could read minds........
--We wouldn't need trials or juries, just psychic judges.
--Exams would be pointless with the teacher in the room
--It would put an end to lying and lie detectors.
--Guys would have to be very careful about their thoughts when out on a date.
--Some teenage kids would be in really really big trouble with parents
If people could really remote view:
--automatic teller numbers and credit card numbers would be up for grabs
--doctors could dispense with x-rays, and cat scans
--hide and seek would go out of fashion as a playground activity
--Strip joints and topless bars would go out of business
--Pregnant women would not need sonograms to see if they were having a girl or a boy.
--Cheating spouses would be in big trouble.
--No one would have to watch sports on TV because you could just go there in your mind.
If people could really see the future:
--Las Vegas would become a ghost town.
--lottery jackpots would always be shared by tens of thousands of people.
--airlines would have an "Early Psychic Warning System" and merely cancel flights that are going to crash.
--divorce would be unknown with psychic marriage councilors.
--psychics would dominate wall street
If psychics could really bend metal with their minds:
--Enemy psychics could bend the wings on Air Force planes.
--Enemy psychics could bend army tank barrels.
--When tested by skeptics, psychics would not actually have to touch the metal with their hands!

Ha! Don't you mean in the presence of females, period?
I need to try and find that web site in which there were statistics applied to the money-making potential of a psychic with even a small edge in picking stocks. I seem to remember the claim being that they would be orders of magnitude richer than the richest person in the world.

LOL. But you know, it really wouldn't matter, women just do what they want anyway. So what if they read your mind, they keep changing their minds, you never know what they want anyway. Whatever you think has no effect on them. They're all crazy!
