Amazing. I actually agree with Al Gore on something. *shudder*
Gore: Rumsfeld, Rice, Tenet Should Resign

“NEW YORK – Al Gore delivered a blistering denunciation Wednesday of the Bush administration’s ‘twisted values and atrocious policies’ in Iraq and demanded the resignation of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, national security adviser Condoleezza Rice and CIA director George Tenet.”
This page says it’s an ESP experiment. Actually, it’s a simple magic “trick” based on misdirection and deception. I wouldn’t blog a silly thing like this, except that I’m flabbergasted by the comments people posted after taking the “test”. The gullibility and utter stupidity of the posters is astounding. Come to think of it, maybe this is social experiment to test the IQ of the average web surfer. 😉
Clifford Pickover ESP Experiment
“Solution: He removes ALL the cards you initially see and replaces 5/6 of them with similar cards (e.g. King of Hearts for King of Diamonds). He can’t fail.”
I wonder what color the sky is in this nut’s fantasy world.
‘Da
Vinci Code’ Author Left Out Material

By KATE McCANN, Associated Press Writer
“CONCORD, N.H. – Though ‘The Da Vinci Code’ was contentious enough to produce
10 books attempting to discredit it, its author said he left out what likely would
have been the most controversial part.”
I'd like to apologize for an inappropriate jab at John Kerry I made yesterday . While I can be suspicious about his child-rearing abilities all I want, I shouldn't make unsupportable statements like I made. His daughter's faux pas should not enter into political discourse unless I have proof (a) that he raised her poorly and (b) that such a failure serves as indication of his character.
I'm sorry and I thank John for taking me to task.
I can, however, still wonder aloud, "What in heaven's name was Ms. Kerry thinking?!?" Ever hear of a bra? How about fabric that isn't transparent?
I'm not sure I'm sold on the tastefulness, appropriateness, or usefulness of this service, but I'm certain that the party crashers were out of line. Don't atheists, pagans, and satanists have better things to do with their time?

"LONDON (Reuters) – The world's first Internet church has fallen victim to a plague of virtual demons, some of whom have been logging on as Satan and unleashing strings of expletives during sermons."
